A financial conflict of interest (FCOI) disclosure must be submitted along with a proposal to any Public Health Service (PHS) agency, even if there is no FCOI present. The Research Compliance Office provides assistance in completing the disclosures through www.irbnet.org. Researchers should also complete the required CITI program training on conflict of interest.
The CITI program offers courses to UM researchers on Responsible conduct of research (RCR) and Conflict of Interest (COI). RCR training is required for all undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and staff participating in and supported by funds from the National Science Foundation (NSF) or from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). Required training on COI can also be completed through the CITI program.
RCR training is required for all undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and staff participating in and supported by funds from the National Science Foundation (NSF) or from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
The IRB approves the initiation of and conducts periodic reviews of research involving human participants. An Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a committee that performs ethical review of proposed research to help assure the protection of the rights and welfare of human participants. Investigators also share the responsibility for protecting human participants. IRB review is required for any project at the University that is engaged in human subjects research by: intervening or interacting with living individuals for research purposes or, obtaining individually identifiable private information for research purposes.
The Office of Technology Commercialization's (OTC) primary purpose is to serve the University's faculty, staff, and students and aid in the technology transfer and commercialization processes. We can help you obtain intellectual property protection, increase your research funding through successful partnerships with business and government, and supplement your income with royalty and licensing revenues. Our interdisciplinary team is here to guide your technology through the often confusing technology transfer cycle.

The Digital Repository at the University of Maryland (DRUM) collects, preserves, and provides public access to the scholarly output of the university. Faculty and researchers can upload documents, data, code, and other research products for rapid dissemination, global visibility and impact, and long-term preservation. You can track views and downloads of your research, and everything in DRUM is indexed by Google and Google Scholar. You receive a permanent DOI for your items, making it easy for other researchers to cite your work. Depositing research in DRUM can help you satisfy data management and sharing requirements from the NSF, NIH, and other funding agencies and journals.
The University Libraries' Digital Data Services program provides software development services to the broader communities and partners of the University of Maryland. Services include application development, application hosting and consultation on software engineering practices.
The Division of Research has organized university projects and centers into several key areas and themes to assist researchers in identifying work being done in those areas.
Principal Investigators, Co-Pis and research team members must complete Human Subject Research Training before the Initial Application or Renewal Application can be fully approved. All members of the research community are required to complete the CITI Training Refresher every three years.
ESSR offers a variety of online and classroom-style training sessions on matters related to lab and environmental safety. Also from this page, you can find a list of training requirements, information on developing lab specific training, training videos and pamphlets, and access to individual and departmental training records.
All personnel named on an Animal Study Protocol (ASP), incuding the PI, must complete the initial UMD PI/Animal User training course, as well as a 3-year refresher training. The initial in-person course is an opportunity to interact with the Attending Veterinarian and other DLAR staff, and provides information for enrolling in the Occupational Health program for animal researchers. New ASPs are not approved until all key personnel and the PI have completed this training. Proper animal care and use relies on the PI and all key personnel understanding the federal, local and campus regulations for the use of animals, being aware of campus resources for the support of studies involving animals, and having thorough knowledge of the research plan as described in the ASP. Ensuring that all members of the research team are properly informed helps us maintain the best possible care of the animals used in our research activities, and ensures highest standards of research excellence.
The University of Maryland engages in strategic partnerships with a variety of external organizations. Research and innovation generated through partnerships between academia, industry and government can help solve national and international challenges and spur economic development.
Planning for how you will share data with reviewers and other researchers is an important part of your data management plan. Learn more about important considerations for data sharing and public access.
A conflict of interest occurs when a member of the University community is in a position to gain personal benefit or financial advantage from their University position, either through outside professional activities or through their actions or decisions at the University.
