In order to initiate a research project, a Triggering Event (TE) must be completed in eDisclosure Management System (eDMS). Every person listed on the TE will be prompted to review their Disclosure Profile and complete a Research Trigger Form in eDMS through a notification email. Information on the eDMS Disclosure Profile is automatically imported into the Research Trigger Form. The Research Trigger Form is used to determine whether any financial interests pose actual or perceived conflicts with a proposed research project. This form is required for every grant and research project/study. The form also requires disclosure of related institutional financial interests.
The Principal Investigator is responsible for ensuring that a project-specific disclosure form is submitted by every study personnel. Investigators and other study personnel added to an ongoing research project must complete their disclosure in eDMS for review and management by the COI Office before commencing participation.
