Financial Conflict of Interest Forms FCOI Management Plan

When it is determined that an Investigator has either a real or perceived potential conflict of interest (COI) in research, a Management Plan (MP) will be developed for review and approval by the Texas State University Financial Conflict of Interest Committee (FCOIC). The purpose of the MP is to document the potential FCOI and outline the control measures that will be implemented in order to mitigate or reduce the potential conflict. MPs are evaluated for their effectiveness annually, via the Annual Report Process. 

Investigators with an active MP are required to submit an Monitoring Report (MR). 
There are two types of MRs:

Abbreviated Monitoring Report (MR) 
The Abbreviated AR is routinely utilized for annual evaluation of active MPs. Investigators will certify to each of their MP control measures and provide a status update.

Standard Monitoring Report (MR) 
The Standard MR will be utilized at the discretion of the COI Committee to gather additional information about the status of the outside activity, personnel, Texas State University research activity, publications, presentations, and oversight. Examples of when the Standard AR may be utilized are higher risk scenarios involving federal funding, IP, human subject research, involvement of other Texas State University personnel in an Investigator's outside activity, or long-running MPs.

The Office of Research Integrity and Compliance will inform you the type of monitoring report required.
