COI reports undergo a review process to identify whether a conflict of interest exists and, if it does, to manage the conflict. More information on the COI review process, standard management plan terms, and guidance can be found on Research Services. If the review process identifies a need for a management plan, the COI staff will create a plan and assign a conflict manager. If you have been assigned to act as a conflict manager, you will receive an email from RASS requesting you to review and sign the management plan. Follow the link in the email or navigate to the management plan from your tasks in RASS.
