FAQ: What happens if I have a research COI?

Conflicts of interest are common in research, especially in light of the increased support of University-Industry collaboration.  Conflicts of interest are not inherently bad and can exist as long as they are managed to protect the integrity of OSU research.  If you have a research COI, the RCOI Officer will work with you to develop an appropriate plan to manage, reduce, or eliminate the conflict.  If a research conflict of interest cannot be managed, OSU research may not go forward.
