All investigators must disclose all real, apparent, or potential financial conflicts of interest to the IRB. Investigator is defined as any person responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of the research. This includes, but is not limited to, the principal investigator, co-investigators, and key research personnel. Family members include spouse and dependent children.
A. SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INTEREST: Anything of monetary value held by the investigator, his/her spouse, or children exceeding an aggregate threshold of $10,000 in a 12-month period or 5% ownership regardless of value. Categories of financial interest include but are not limited to:
A. Salary or other payments for services (e.g., consulting fees or honoraria);
B. Equity interests (e.g., stocks, stock options or other ownership interests);
C. Intellectual property rights (e.g., patents, trademarks, copyrights, licensing agreements, and royalties from such rights).
D. Any other relationships that might present a financial conflict of interest, such as fiduciary interests (e.g., the investigator or investigator’s spouse or children holding paid or unpaid positions as director, officer or other management positions in a for-profit or not-for-profit entity sponsoring or related to the research) or interests in which compensation, or the value of equity or property rights, may be affected by the outcome of the research.
