Management Plans

After consideration of the financial conflicts of interest, the research project, and all related materials, the CIRC develops a management plan, if possible.  Management plans include specific action items to be carried out by the investigator with the financial conflict of interest.  (see Scenarios)

The proposed management plan is reviewed by the Vice President for Research and Economic Development who has the authority to accept, reject, or amend it.  The investigator is required to sign the management plan and return it to the Conflict of Interest in Research Office.  A copy of the signed management plan is sent to the investigator's departmental executive officer and dean, the Human Subjects Office (if applicable), Sponsored Programs, and to the principal investigator of the study, if different from the investigator.  This notice to Sponsored Programs and the Human Subjects serves as the signal for these offices to move toward finalization of their processes.
