Conflict of Interest Review

All initial and continuing protocols (as well as amendments that involve adding new investigators) are subject to conflict-of-interest review by the NHGRI Deputy Ethics Counselor (DEC). To obtain review and clearance, PIs should complete and send the "Clearance of NIH Investigator Personal Financial Holdings by IC Ethics Office" form to the NHGRI DEC at least two months ahead of the anticipated IRB review date.
