Q&A Session on "Foreign Influence" in the COI disclosure form

As many of you know from having completed your Conflict of Interest (COI) disclosure for this year, the form contains a new question about "foreign influence." There have been questions raised about this. Fortunately, the Office of Sponsored Programs and Regulatory Compliance (SPARCS) is sponsoring a Q&A session on this question.

The event is on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 10:00-11:00 a.m. in Room 3285 Talley Student Center



Presenters:
Richard Best, Director of Research Compliance, SPARCS
Shawn Troxler, Assistant General Counsel, OGC

Faculty have had many questions on how to appropriately disclose activity such as:

• joint supervision of international graduate students
• collaboration on publications
• the value of in-kind support

Whether you are still preparing to submit your forms on Sept. 27 or have questions for the coming year, this session will help clarify the process.
