Please contact the OVPR Research Compliance office at fcoi@tufts.edu if a proposal that requires a conflict of interest disclosure is being prepared for submission or if it becomes known that a conflict of interest exists during the negotiation of a sponsored award. Research Compliance will advise whether a disclosure has been already made and whether a management plan is needed.

If a management plan is necessary, it must be developed and implemented before the release of funds. Please review Tufts University Conflict of Interest Policy for additional information.
