Research Compliance and Integrity

The Conflict of Interest Office is one of the four core offices of the Research Compliance and Integrity Program in Research Affairs, along with Export Control, IACUC and Research Misconduct.

Kuali Conflict of Interest (COI)

Kuali Conflict of Interest (COI) is UC San Diego research COI disclosure system. Kuali COI is a streamlined user experience which has incorporated the three COI form types (i.e., Federal PHS, Federal Non-PHS and Non-Federal 700-U) making it easier to submit and update conflict of interest disclosures with external sponsors (during proposals, awards, and other related activities) required to meet university and state and federal government COI disclosure requirements.
