Established by the Vice President for Research in 2021, the Conflict of Interest Review
Committee (CIRC) is comprised of at least three (3) members of the OSU faculty, staff,
or administration with relevant background or expertise. Members are appointed for
a three-year term. The Committee meets to review disclosures referred by the Research
Conflict of Interest Officer and determine if any referred Statement of Financial
Interest (SFI) constitutes a Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) and, if so, what
modifications or conditions, if any, should be implemented to manage, reduce, or eliminate
the FCOI.
