All investigators responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of sponsored research must complete financial conflict of interest in research training before spending funds on an award, per 42 CFR Part 50 Subpart F and UO policy.
The UO uses the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) to administer this training. Investigators must complete the COI Researcher module with a score of 80% or higher. Training is valid for 3 years.
To get started, download our step-by-step guide or email us to add the module for you. If you're new to CITI or to the UO, follow CITI's instructions on how to affiliate the University of Oregon with your account.
Note: Training completion migrates from CITI to the Research Administration Portal overnight. Training must be current before submitting a COI disclosure.
