As the new year begins, university personnel are reminded to complete a Disclosure of External Professional Activities (DEPA) in order to meet conflicts of interest disclosure requirements. A 2016 DEPA is required of all faculty and other designated groups. In general, those other groups include all research personnel, staff who support department compliance reporting processes, and students engaged in research (i.e.听all personnel responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research).听

Each year we receive a number of emails from non-faculty employees and from students, asking if they need to report. PLEASE, check the categories below for that information.

Failure to report can result in:

• a delay in the establishment, renewal and continuation of speedtypes
• delayed processing of grant/contract proposals and awards
• delays in procurement transactions
• delayed approval from compliance review committees such as IRB, IACUC, etc.

In addition, following the required processes helps to safeguard you, your department, and the University, as a whole, in the event of an outside audit.

Critical Dates Regarding Grant & Contract Proposal Submissions and Awards

The CU-麻豆影院 COI website has additional details and helpful links.听听It is also important to remember the following:

1. Self-authored instructional materials听that are required or recommended for the author鈥檚 course must receive departmental approval in order to be in compliance with the Conflicts of Interest Policy. Please use the form located at:听
2. Regular and periodic consulting听activities (per the 1/6th rule) require departmental approval:听
3. Researchers with current MOUs requiring annual monitoring听need to report early so that monitoring reports can be solicited and reviewed. Proposal submission/award monies will be delayed if a monitoring report is not current.听Please follow the new email instructions you receive once you submit your DEPA, as the monitoring process has changed.
4. PHS/NIH Investigators听have additional (federal) requirements:
   1. Travel Reporting.听All PHS/NIH research personnel must report specific kinds of sponsored/reimbursed travel throughout the year. For more information:听
   2. Educational Training.听All PHS/NIH research personnel must complete COI educational training once every four years in order be compliant. If you are involved in PHS/NIH research, your DEPA will not progress forward for review until your training is recorded in the system. If you have already completed the training, your information will pop up as you answer the questions. If you have not completed the training, the DEPA system will divert you to the quick COI NIH tutorial, specifically developed for the 麻豆影院 campus, and which does not require testing. Once you certify completion, the system will direct you back to the DEPA reporting form. For more information see:听

Specific groups affected by the general DEPA reporting requirement include:

• All Tenure track faculty听(all levels); Adjunct, Visiting, and Research faculty (all levels) and select Retired faculty
• All PRAs/RAs听(all levels), Instructors (all levels), Librarians, Museum Associates
• Graduate students/Fellows- IF they are responsible for the design, conduct or reporting of research
• Undergraduate students, volunteers and consultants听-ONLY IF they are responsible for the design, conduct or reporting of research
• The following groups typically DO NOT need to report:听TAs, Lecturers, Professional Exempts and Adjoint faculty
