Institutional Conflict of Interest
The ORP has a comprehensive COI Program to review and manage all potential financial conflicts of interest in a manner that is consistent throughout the University.
Penn State’s Institutional Conflict of Interest Policy requires the disclosure of financial interests held by the University and significant financial interests held by University Officers, Other Senior Managers and Unit Heads (each of these terms is defined in RA21). The University has established an Institutional Conflict of Interest Committee to review disclosed financial interests for possible management.
At this time, information relating to potential institutional conflicts of interest cannot be submitted through COINS, Penn State’s electronic Conflict Of INterest System. Instead, such information should be discussed directly with COI staff in the Office for Research Protections.
