Self-Authored Instructional Material. A process has been adopted for 2013 that addresses the real, potential or perceived conflict of interest that may arise in situations where self- authored instructional material is required/recommended for the author鈥檚 course. Specifically, one of the DEPA questions will ask if the instructor has obtained departmental approval via the Use of Self -Authored Instructional Material Approval Form. Please see the COIC website to obtain the form.
PHS/NIH Requirements RE: COIC Education. As of 8/24/12, COIC educational training must occur for all PHS/NIH disclosers, once every four years. The 暗网禁区鈥檚 mandatory educational training module is available through SkillSoft. Please see the COIC website for specific instructions regarding accessing this module.
PHS/NIH Requirement RE: Travel Reporting. As of 8/24/12, all travel reimbursement or sponsored travel related to institutional responsibilities must be reported as significant financial interest (SFI). Currently, a separate form is available during 2012. However, beginning 2013, please be prepared to provide these details when you report annually or update the DEPA form. Exclusions from this requirement include travel that is reimbursed or sponsored by the University of Colorado; a federal, state, or local government agency; or another institution of higher education; an academic teaching hospital, medical center or research institute that is affiliated with an institution of higher education.
