The UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health COI Committee seeks to identify and manage, reduce, or eliminate conflicts of interest that arise out of research and entrepreneurial endeavors related to our investigator’s many institutional activities for the purpose of preserving transparency, fostering independent decision-making, protecting research subjects, and ensuring integrity of the educational experience.

UNC has updated its Financial Conflict of Interest Policy to comply with a regulation announced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In order to comply with the regulation, all UNC researchers (faculty, students, and staff) are required to complete a short training exercise on the new policy.
