Annual COI disclosure submissions are required from all investigators engaged in UNM research at Main and Branch campuses. 

• The annual call for 2023-2024 disclosures will likely occur early-mid September 2023. The annual disclosure is operational at this time, however, there are some updates being made to the disclosure. 
• Investigators required to disclose are individuals (including faculty, staff and students) responsible for a task that could have a significant effect on the design, conduct or reporting of UNM research, even if the individual does not have sole or primary responsibility for the task or the research.
• A non-UNM investigator is any person employed by an entity other than UNM, working pursuant to a sub-award agreement with UNM, an independent contractor or collaborator, or otherwise not employed by UNM who could have a significant effect on the design, conduct or reporting of UNM research or the research performed under a sub-award issued by UNM.
