Need and Use of Information 

Collection: This request is for an 

Extension of a currently approved 

collection resulting from regulations 

regarding, Responsibility of Applicants 

for Promoting Objectivity in Research 

for which PHS Funding is Sought (42 

CFR part 50, subpart F) and Responsible 

Prospective Contractors (45 CFR part 

94). The purpose of these regulations is 

to promote objectivity in research by 

requiring institutions to establish 

standards to ensure that there is no 

reasonable expectation that the design, 

conduct, or reporting of PHS-funded 

research will be biased by any 

Investigator financial conflict of interest 

(FCOI). 

OMB approval is requested for 3 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

677,820.

1Assuming that 3000 institutions solicit disclosures on an annual basis to all Investigators. 

2Although an estimated 992 reports of Conflict of Interest are expected annually, the 2,000 responding Institutions must review all financial disclosures associated with PHS-funded awards to determine whether any conflicts of interest exist. Thus, the review burden of 76,000 hours is 

based upon estimates that it will take on the average 2 hours for an institutional official(s) to review each of 38,000 financial disclosures associated with PHS funded awards. The burden for developing a management plan for identified FCOI is estimated at 80 hours × 992 cases = 79,360 

hours. 3Assuming that this is a rare occurrence based on prior experience. 

4Assuming only a fraction of the newly identified SFIs will constitute FCOI. 

5Assuming only a fraction of the newly identified SFIs will constitute FCOI. 

6 Number based on 50.605/94.5(a)(3)(i)—of those only a fraction will relate to a project of clinical research whose purpose is to evaluate the 

safety or effectiveness of a drug, medical device, or treatment, but we are calculating the maximum estimated burden. 7Assuming an average of 3 publications annually.
