Research Integrity

Boston College and its Principal Investigators (PIs) are committed to conducting themselves and University activities in accordance with the highest standards of integrity, ethics, and professionalism, in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and University policies, related to conflicts of interest and commitment and objectivity in scholarly projects.

51²è¹Ý’s Research Integrity Program is responsible for reviewing Conflict of Interest (COI) and Conflict of Commitment (COC) disclosures by research funded Faculty and Staff, and, when necessary, implementing and administering COI or COC Management Plans.

COI/COC Management Plans are implemented when there appears to be overlap between a Faculty or Staff researcher’s outside relationships and/or interests and their responsibilities at Boston College. COI/COC Management Plan requirements vary depending on the facts and circumstances involved.

The purpose of a COI/COC Management Plan is to ensure transparency and create separation between a Faculty or Staff researcher’s work at Boston College and their work conducted outside of the University.
