Please work with your college to determine what is and is not considered to be part of your UArizona duties and responsibilities. The following disclosure scenarios may be helpful:
- An Investigator receives personal compensation or an honorarium of $5,000 or more for editing journal articles. In this instance, the editing work must be disclosed as a Significant Financial Interest for conflict of interest (COI) review even though it is part of the individual’s professional service requirement. The Investigator would not need to submit a COC form for approval if the activity is part of their professional service.
- An Investigator serves on the Scientific Advisory Board for a professional society but does not receive any remuneration. The Investigator must disclose this board membership as a Significant Personal Interest for conflict of interest (COI) review. The Investigator would not need to submit a COC form for approval if the activity is part of their professional service.
- An Investigator receives an honorarium of $300 from a foreign funding agency to review research proposals. In this instance, the Investigator must disclose the review work as a Foreign Interest for conflict of interest (COI) even though the remuneration is less than $5,000 and the work may be part of the individual’s professional service. The Investigator would not need to submit a COC form for approval if the activity is part of their professional service.
