Instructions For Submitting the Project Specific Disclosure by ECU Senior/Key Personnel

The process for submitting PSDs has been updated. COI Risk Manager will copy the responses from your prior submission to your current disclosure. Please simply update responses, as appropriate, for your latest project.

Submitting your first PSD:

The Project Specific COI Disclosure is available for completion in COI Risk Manager. After logging into the system, you will see a link for the Project Specific Disclosure on your home page and under the section labeled “Disclosures I need to complete…” Select the “Fill Out” button beside the PSD and answer all questions.

Submitting subsequent PSDs, if applicable:

The Project Specific COI Disclosure remains available for completion in COI Risk Manager. However, the disclosure is no longer available under the section labeled “Disclosures I need to complete…”  Instead, it is available on your home page under the section labeled “SHOW DISCLOSURES AVAILABLE TO UPDATE.” Once you log into the system, select the down arrow to the right of the label.

Once you select the down arrow, you will see the subsequent version of the PSD.

Select the “Update” button and follow these actions:

  • Update the following three (3) fields:
    • eTRACS proposal number
    • Project title
    • Project sponsor

The first row will default as the sponsor from your last PSD submission. For example, if your last submission was a proposal to NIH, you would see the following:

  • You may either:
    • Delete the existing text (e.g., NIH), input the current project’s sponsor, and select “Save”, or
    • Delete the first row by selecting the X to the far right-hand side, input the new sponsor in the remaining row, and press “Save”.
  • Review all other questions and update responses, as necessary.
