Summary

United States Federal regulations, including 45 CFR Part 94, require institutions to have policies in place to ensure that Investigators do not have significant financial interests that could bias research funded by the Public Health Service (PHS), which includes the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  In order to identify and mitigate any such conflicts of interest, Investigators are required to disclose all significant financial interests that reasonably appear to be related to the Investigator's institutional responsibilities, and institutions are required to develop specific mechanisms by which conflicts of interest will be satisfactorily managed, reduced, or eliminated.

Intended Audience:

Charles River Investigators (Principle Investigators and Study Diretors) and Research Staff who work on US Federally Funded/Grant projects

Secondary Audience: Charles River employees and other learners who manage or oversee US Federal Government contracts.
