Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI)
It has been, and shall continue to be, the policy of Temple University that all full time and part- time faculty members avoid any conflict, or appearance of conflict, between their personal interest and the interest of the University in dealing with any organization or individual having, or seeking to have, any business relationship with the University or with any organization or individual whose objectives or interest may be adverse to University interests.
In order to move forward with a proposal, all key personnel will need to create/update their FCOI disclosure in eRA. Consultants complete FCOI disclosures directly with the university’s FCOI office, to maintain confidentiality. Subawards verify FCOI compliance by completing and signing the subaward recipient form.
The COI disclosure form is available at era.temple.edu and can be found within the My Conflict of Interests section.
