AAHRPP Road To Reaccreditation

In an effort to ready researchers for the site visit, we will provide frequent guideposts and training regarding the 3 Domains (Institution, IRB, Researchers), 16 Standards, and 62 Elements.

_______________________________________________________

Element 1.6.A. The Organization has and follows written policies and procedures to identify, manage, and minimize or eliminate financial conflicts of interest of the Organization that could influence the conduct of the research or the integrity of the Human Research Protection Program.

UK has two Conflict of Interest policies, one for researchers and one for the institution:

Financial COI related to research of individual investigators is covered in Administrative Regulation (AR) 7.2 - Financial Conflicts of Interest in Research. The AR outlines procedures for defining, identifying, disclosing, managing, reporting and training regarding COI.

Institutional COI is covered in Administrative Regulation (AR) 7.9 – Institutional Conflict of Interest. A potential or actual COI exists when a significant financial interest (as defined below) of an Investigator or a family member of the Investigator could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of research.

AAHRPP researcher interviews are coming! Could you answer conflict-of-interest questions if asked? Test your knowledge by completing the Conflicts of Interest Crossword Puzzle.

If you need help, refer to AR 7:2 Financial Conflicts of Interest in Research and AR 7:9 Institutional Conflicts of Interest Involving Research.
