Financial Conflict of Interest

---

Beginning January 1, 2024, investigators will now only need to complete a single, one-time Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) disclosure each fiscal year that will apply to all proposals being submitted as opposed to a disclosure for each grant submitted. We anticipate this will significantly reduce the administrative burden for faculty and staff – and especially for those who submit several proposals per year. See the quick links on this page for the annual WKU FCOI Disclosure Form as well as the WKU FCOI Research Policy.

If additional potential conflicts are identified within the year, investigators are required to submit an ad hoc disclosure within 30 days of discovering the potential conflict.
