COI Disclosure

To determine which COI disclosure form to complete, please answer the following question:

Are you a UH or RCUH employee involved in the design, conduct, or reporting of extramural (externally sponsored) research or scholarly activity?

Who must complete a research COI disclosure form in the rCOI system?

University of Hawai‘i (UH) and Research Corporation of the University of Hawai‘i (RCUH) employees involved in extramural proposals and awards administered by the Office of Research Services (ORS) must complete the COI disclosure form in the rCOI system which is connected to myGRANT. These employees include Faculty (Principal Investigators, Co-Investigators) and Senior/Key Personnel involved in the design, conduct, or reporting of extramural (externally sponsored) research or scholarly activity.

UH and RCUH employees include full time or part time appointments, compensated or not, at UH or RCUH. Employees may be exempt only if not responsible, directly or indirectly, for the design, conduct, or reporting of research or other scholarly activity, and should consult their immediate supervisors, departmental chairperson, Dean, or Director regarding such exemptions.

rCOI Disclosure

rCOI is UH’s online disclosure system for those involved in extramurally-funded projects. This system is integrated with UH’s contracts and grants software, myGRANT, to ensure that all investigators and key personnel named on extramural proposals and awards have a current COI disclosure on file.

rCOI can be accessed directly through myGRANT or by clicking the link below. This link does not require the reporter to have a myGRANT account as long as they have a UH ID number:
