New COI Guidance Documents

June 10, 2015

In response to several recent questions regarding COI approval statuses in GMAS and COI Investigator status determinations, we’ve added two new COI guidance documents to the RAS Website.

  1. The new GMAS COI Status Matrices lists all COI approval statuses and corresponding actions to be taken at proposal and award stage:

  2. The new COI Investigator Matrix provides guidance for determinations around investigator status:

Both of these resources can be accessed through the COI page on the RAS website:
