- Disclosures - When in doubt, disclose.
- COI/COC Policy applies even if you only have a part-time appointment.
- All faculty and staff are required to disclose at least annually.
- Other times disclosure is required:
- New to UMD: Within 30 days of being hired at the University, even if there are NO activities to disclose
- When Submitting a Proposal: Proposals to federal agencies (e.g., PHS, NIH, NSF, USDA-NIFA, DOE, NASA, ARPA-E) or Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) require disclosure at the time of submission even if there are NO activities to disclose. The disclosure is required, not the review and disposition. The Disclosure must be cleared—reviewed, dispositioned, and managed as needed before AWARD monies can be released.
- Within 30 Days: Updates required on a rolling basis within 30 days of acquiring (or becoming aware of) a new significant financial interest or beginning a new outside activity
- inTERP Disclosure System: Transition KCOI disclosure info to inTERP for disclosures submitted before March 1, 2024. For disclosures submitted after, transition by December 15, 2024.
- Be transparent in the disclosure: More details = fewer iterations.
