RESEARCH NOW: Cayuse - Outside Interest
9:00 to 10:00 a.m.
In today's world, it's more important than ever for research staff to complete conflict of interest (COI) disclosures. Failure to disclose risks serious repercussions, from whistleblower reporting and agency investigation, to grant suspension and public mistrust. Come and join us to hear about the new addition to the Cayuse platform for your proposal submissions. We will provide a breakdown of the slight changes for your proposal submission(s) along with an introduction to Cayuse Outside Interest module.
