American Asthma Foundation: PHS FCOI Regulations apply

The American Asthma Foundation (AAF) was identified today as an organization having adopted the current PHS Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) Regulations. The Investigator Form, Sponsored Programs Procedure Guide (SPPG), and other related documents will be revised, re-posted, and announced shortly. In the meantime, for all AAF proposals and awards, please follow the established FCOI processes for PHS funding.

An Investigator Form, along with confirmed current disclosures for all Investigators, is required for all proposal submissions, including for the February 12, 2014, application deadline.

Should you have questions or concerns about impending submissions or the applicability of the Rule, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
