KR Federal Disclosure and Certification

Starting October 31st, the KR COI Annual Disclosure will be replaced with the KR Federal Disclosure and Certification to add a question related to malign foreign talent recruitment programs. The link will remain the same. The webpages have been updated accordingly.

Outside financial interests facilitate and create opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and support.   The Conflict of Interest Oversight Committee (COIOC) supports research and the pursuit of outside financial interests by reviewing financial disclosures to protect the objectivity of the research.  Financial disclosures reviews also protect the researcher by

  1. Meeting the requirements set by Federal, state, and university regulations and policies;
  2. Obtaining approval on the financial interests and the research from the COIOC, an objective third party;
  3. Promoting transparency and accountability; and
  4. Demonstrating a commitment to scientific integrity.

The federal government's focus on conflict of interest as it relates to research security and integrity compliance concerns only emphasizes the need for researchers to fully and accurately disclose.  For more information, please visit Research Security & International Engagement.
