Faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to learn about the University of Miami’s conflict of interest (COI) policy by attending an upcoming seminar or by setting up a training session for their department/unit. For more information on bringing a workshop to your facility or to invite a compliance representative to your faculty meeting, contact Lory Hayes, associate director of the Office of Research Compliance, at 305-243-5036 or [email protected].
