INTRODUCTION: Saint Louis University’s Conflict of Interest in Research Policy requires disclosure of financial
interests for faculty, staff, students, subcontractors, consultants, collaborators and all others engaged in externally sponsored
programs. In academic research institutions, conflicts of interest are not uncommon, and the existence of a financial interest
does not in any way indicate wrongdoing. However, a real or perceived financial conflict of interest may compromise or
appear to compromise professional judgment or integrity on the part of the conflicted individual. Therefore, financial
conflicts of interest must be managed, reduced, or eliminated. Saint Louis University’s Financial Conflict of Interest in
Research Policy is designed to comply with federal regulations and at the same time safeguard the integrity of the institution,
its researchers and collaborators.
SLU’s policy requires that all individuals participating in externally sponsored programs complete Conflict of
Interest in Research Disclosure Forms annually and within 30 days of the time at which a financial conflict arises or the
status of a previously filed disclosure changes. Full disclosure is key to handling potential conflicts so that SLU’s Conflict of
Interest in Research Committee can work with individuals to develop, implement, and monitor an appropriate management
plan.
A Significant Financial Interest (SFI) exists when the following conditions are present for the individual or when
aggregated with the interests of his/her spouse and dependent children:
x Any combined income, compensation or stock in excess of $5,000 from a publicly-traded or non-publicly
traded entity;
x Any amount of equity (stock, stock options, or other ownership interest) in a non-publicly traded entity (such
as a start-up company)
x Any reimbursed or sponsored travel to the Investigator paid by an entity, including non-profit organizations,
but excluding travel sponsored by or reimbursed by a government agency, a U.S. institution of higher
education or a research institute affiliated with such, a medical center, or an academic teaching hospital.
x NOTE: A Significant Financial Interest does not include salary, royalties or other remuneration from Saint
Louis University, your organization, or payments from governmental organizations for seminars, lectures,
service on advisory committees or service on review panels.
INSTRUCTIONS: All individuals engaged in externally funded research are required to complete a Conflict of Interest
Disclosure Form PRIOR TO SUBMITTING A GRANT APPLICATION if a current annual disclosure has not been
completed. Please read and follow instructions for each section of this Disclosure Form. When you have completed the form,
submit to the Division of Research Administration, c/o Johnny Kidd, Manager of Responsible Conduct of Research,
Fusz Hall, Room 262, Saint Louis, MO 63108 or by e-mail to COI@slu.edu.
Any questions regarding the policy or completion of this disclosure form should be directed to Johnny Kidd, Manager of
Responsible Conduct of Research at 314-977-7047, or jkidd2@slu.edu.
