Conflict of Interest Committee
Terminating a Management Plan
If the COI Committee has issued you a management plan based on a conflict of interest and your situation has changed so that it meets one of the criteria listed below for terminating a management plan, please contact the COI Committee Staff to initiate termination of your management plan.
Please
note: Only the COI Committee can
terminate a management plan.
Management plans can be terminated if:
- An individual is no longer employed by the UW-Madison.
- An individual no longer has the ability to affect the design, conduct or reporting of entity-related, federally-funded research at UW-Madison and is not seeking such funding.
- The managed entity has been dissolved.
- An individual no longer has any relationship with a managed entity.
- An individual still has a managed relationship with an entity, but
it has changed such that management is no longer necessary.
- Management Plans for Human Subjects Researchers only: An individual
is not an investigator or key personnel on any entity-related human subjects research protocol at UW-Madison, does not have the ability to affect the design, conduct or reporting of entity-related human subjects research at UW-Madison, and does not
anticipate future involvement in entity-related human subjects research at UW-Madison.
- The Conflict of Interest Committee determines management is no longer necessary.
Process for terminating management plans:
- An investigator informs a COI Committee member or staff person that a
situation has changed such that a management plan may no longer be necessary.
- The committee member or staff person presents a request for termination
of a management plan to the full COI Committee at its monthly meeting.
- The COI Committee terminates the management plan, if the committee determines the plan is no longer necessary.
- COI Committee staff informs the investigator in a letter that a management plan has been terminated. If the individual's original management plan covered more than one entity, the staff will update the individual’s management plan to reflect any new committee determinations and the management plan cover letter will note which entities are no longer covered by the plan.
