Before submitting a proposal to a Public Health Service (PHS) agency or the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Principal Investigator (PI) and any individual involved in the design, conduct, or reporting of the research must complete the following:

  1. Submit a Financial Interest Disclosure Form
    This form must be submitted before proposal submission to disclose any potential financial conflicts of interest.

  2. Complete Online FCOI Training
    Training must be completed before any funds are spent on an awarded project. This ensures compliance with PHS regulations and helps protect the integrity of the research.
