Non-U of A Investigators should follow the steps on this webpage: Information for Non-UA Subcontractors, Consultants, and Collaborators.
NIH describes Budgetary Overlap as: "Budgetary Overlap occurs when duplicate or equivalent budgetary items (e.g., equipment, salary) are requested in an application but are already provided by another source."
NIH describes Scientific Overlap as: "Scientific Overlap occurs when substantially similar research is proposed in more than one application or is submitted to two or more different funding sources for review and funding consideration; or a specific research objective and the experimental design for accomplishing that objective are the same or closely related in two or more applications or awards, regardless of funding source."
The Research, Innovation & Impact Human Subjects Protection Program (HSPP) will implement upgrades to the electronic Institutional Review Board (eIRB) system to provide the latest features and maintain quality performance.
This upgrade will cause the eIRB and eDisclosure systems to be unavailable beginning 8 a.m., Friday, April 21 through 8 a.m., Monday, April 24.

Investigators must:
1. Complete the Required COI Disclosure Training after July 1, 2021.
2. Complete the Required COI Disclosure Training once every 4 years thereafter.
Note: OROI may direct an Investigator to complete the training more frequently.
3. Submit an annual certification. This can be an Annual Disclosure Certification or Research Certification.
4. Update their certification within 30 days of a change to an existing Outside Interest.
5. Update their certification within 30 days of acquiring a new Outside Interest.
6. Submit a Research Certification for all non-sponsored and sponsored Research.
At the time of proposal submission to a federal funding agency, Investigators must have an up-to-date COI certification. That means each Investigator has:
1. Submitted either an Annual Disclosure Certification or a Research Certification in the last 364 days, and
2. Does not have any changes to an existing Outside Interest or new Outside Interest.
In the past, University Employees were asked to disclose Outside Commitments in the COC database and Outside Interests in the COI database.
The Conflicts of Interest & Commitment Policy incorporated and replaced the following policies:
1. Conflict of Commitment Policy
2. Conflict of Interest (UHAP) Policy
3. Conflict of Interest in Purchasing Policy
4. Individual Conflict of Interest in Research Policy
5. Institutional Conflict of Interest Policy
Now, eDisclosure serves as a single platform to meet all policy disclosure requirements.
