Conflict of Interest (COI) management plans are implemented when it is determined that an actual or potential conflict of interest has been identified. The purpose of a management plan is to mitigate or eliminate the potential for bias in extramurally-funded activities. Details of a management plan vary depending on the conflict. Follow this link to access the COI Management Plan Template, which should be used for informational purposes only. To develop a COI management plan, contact ORC to start the process.
Common management plans terms include, but are not limited to:
- Disclosure of the existing conflict in related to publications or presentations, to students, oversight committees (e.g., IRB, IACUC), and sponsors
- Recusal from decisions involving the outside company
- Appointment of senior administrators to oversee compliance with the terms of the plan
