Significant amendments to the U.S. Public Health Service Financial Conflict of Interest Regulation will go into effect Aug. 24. The new PHS rules include lower thresholds for significant financial interests, new requirements to report travel reimbursements and new training requirements. Researchers who currently receive funding from, plan to apply for funding from, or have salary funded by a grant from any PHS agency must comply with the new FCOI Regulation. Researchers must complete a new Annual Conflict of Interest and Commitment Disclosure in a timely manner after Jan. 9. Training that meets the new requirements will be announced by the Office for Responsible Research this spring. Current and future information about the rules and new PHS public accessibility can be found at http://www.compliance.iastate.edu/coi.html. Contact: coi@iastate.edu.
