Entities Page
The e-form section where investigators disclose interests will have a new look and new method for SFI disclosure entry. All interests, except for qualifying travel, will be entered by entity name on one page.
Selecting Entity Names From a Standardized List
Investigators will select the entity name from a list, instead of entering as free-text. If a company does not appear in the list, investigators will select "Not Found" and enter the name manually.
Selecting Significant Financial Interest (SFI) Type From a Drop-Down List
After selecting an entity, investigators will disclose each type of qualifying activity/interest they (and/or their immediate family: spouse and dependent children) have with that entity by selecting the category from a drop-down list. Investigators can enter multiple activity/interest types under one entity.
Selecting a Range for the Value of Interests
Those who have SFIs with a dollar value of $5,000 or more from a single entity will report the value of those interests in ranges from a drop-down list, rather than exact amounts.
Responding to Research-Related Screening Questions for Each Entity
The e-form now incorporates preliminary research-focused screening questions about each entity to help identify possible research financial conflicts of interest.
Disclosing Non-Public Entity Equity or Other Ownership Interests
Investigators are still required to disclose interests held with a faculty-affiliated company and/or any other ownership interests (regardless of value) in a non-public entity that is possibly related to their institutional responsibilities. Investigators will report the percentage ownership held by selecting the range from a drop-down list, rather than the exact value of the ownership interest. There will also be an optional field for reporting number of shares, if known.
