FCOI Tutorial Now Includes Certificate Capability

Posted

OER has recently added the capability for users to print a certificate of completion of the Financial Conflict of Interest Tutorial; so if you have already taken it, revisit it to print our your certificate. If you have not yet taken the tutorial, do so as soon as possible!

The tutorial, developed to help ensure that research is carried out without bias and with the highest standards of integrity, is designed for use by institutional officials responsible for managing NIH-funded grants, cooperative agreements, and/or contracts and for individuals who are responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of NIH-supported research. We hope this tutorial proves to be a useful educational tool and, although not a requirement, NIH strongly encourages all NIH-funded investigators to take it.

Even if you have already taken the tutorial, you may want to revisit it, refresh your memory, and print your certificate of completion. The tutorial may be accessed on the Office of Extramural Research Conflict of Interest Page at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/coi/index.htm. For more information on this important topic, consult the Frequently Asked Questions document on the OER Web site or contact FCOICompliance@mail.nih.gov.
