How to Disclose at RUSH

Disclosure of interests are made through the RUSH Research Portal (RRP). There are two ways to make a disclosure:

RUSH’s Annual COI Survey
Protocol Specific COI (PSCOI) Disclosure for Researchers

RUSH’s annual Conflict of Interest (COI) Survey is distributed each year in July after the fiscal year has ended. Individuals who are identified by role to complete a COI survey will receive a personal link to submit a disclosure. Disclosures must include activity that occurred in the last 12 months (July 1^st through June 30^th), regardless of value. To submit your COI disclosure, please see survey instructions below.

NOTE: Disclosures can be made at any time when an investigator’s financial or fiduciary external interest changes, however, changes must be made within 30 days of the interest.
