§ 94.4 Institutional responsibility regarding

conflicting interests of investigators.

Each Institution must:

(a) Maintain an appropriate written,

enforced policy on conflict of interest

that complies with this part and inform

each Investigator of that policy, the

Investigator’s reporting responsibilities,

and of these regulations. If the

Institution carries out the PHS-funded

research through subcontractors, or

collaborators, the Institution must take

reasonable steps to ensure that

Investigators working for such entities

comply with this part, either by

requiring those Investigators to comply

with the Institution’s policy or by

requiring the entities to provide

assurances to the Institution that will

enable the Institution to comply with

this part.

(b) Designate an institutional

official(s) to solicit and review financial

disclosure statements from each

Investigator who is planning to

participate in PHS-funded research.

(c)(1) Require that by the time an

application is submitted to PHS, each

Investigator who is planning to

participate in the PHS-funded research

has submitted to the designated

official(s) a listing of his/her known

Significant Financial Interests (and

those of his/her spouse and dependent

children):

(i) That would reasonably appear to

be affected by the research for which

PHS funding is sought; and

(ii) In entities whose financial

interests would reasonably appear to be

affected by the research.

(2) All financial disclosures must be

updated during the period of the award,

either on an annual basis or as new

reportable Significant Financial

Interests are obtained.

(d) Provide guidelines consistent with

this part for the designated official(s) to

identify conflicting interests and take

such actions as necessary to ensure that

such conflicting interests will be

managed, reduced, or eliminated.

(e) Maintain records of all financial

disclosures and all actions taken by the

Institution with respect to each

conflicting interest for three years after

final payment or, where applicable, for

the other time periods specified in 48

CFR part 4, subpart 4.7.

(f) Establish adequate enforcement

mechanisms and provide for sanctions

where appropriate.

(g) Certify, in each contract proposal,

that:

(1) There is in effect at that Institution

a written and enforced administrative

process to identify and manage, reduce

or eliminate conflicting interests with

respect to all research projects for which

funding is sought from the PHS;

(2) Prior to the Institution’s

expenditure of any funds under the

award, the Institution will report to the

PHS Awarding Component the

existence of any conflicting interest (but

not the nature of the interest or other

details) found by the Institution and

assure that the interest has been

managed, reduced or eliminated in

accordance with this part; and, for any

interest that the Institution identifies as

conflicting subsequent to the

Institution’s initial report under the

award, the report will be made and the

conflicting interest managed, reduced,

or eliminated, at least on an interim

basis, within sixty days of that

identification.

(3) The Institution agrees to make

information available, upon request, to

the HHS regarding all conflicting

interests identified by the Institution

and how those interests have been

managed, reduced, or eliminated to

protect the research from bias; and

(4) The Institution will otherwise

comply with this part.
