Financial Conflict of Interest training (FCOI) is required for all government-funded research projects. The Office of Grants Administration (OGA) keeps on file current FCOI for all research per PHS federal regulations 42 CFR 50, Subpart F. Investigators involved in research at Orlando Health are required to provide documentation of their completed FCOI training and submit it to OGA for record keeping each year. At Orlando Health, FCOI training is accessed and completed through CITI.
The Corporate Office of Research Operations (CORO) is responsible for supporting investigators and administrators in research by managing investigator-initiated research, academic, cooperative group, and externally sponsored research projects and clinical trials.
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is defined by the National Institutes of Health as “the practice of scientific investigation with integrity. It involves the awareness and application of established professional norms and ethical principles in the performance of all activities related to scientific research.” The DHHS Office of Research Integrity (ORI) describes RCR as “good citizenship applied to professional life.”
Several federal agencies require training in RCR for specific categories of researchers including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Additionally, RCR Training is increasingly considered an essential component of a researcher’s training regardless of the source of funding of their research. As a result, Orlando Health Inc. requires RCR training, including CITI and FCOI training, as a critical part of its research and grant programs.
