For each project all of the reporter’s financial entities with the reporter-entered status are listed. The Administrator can override the related/unrelated status set by the reporter through the Recommended Status column. Only the COI Administrator has the rights to override the reporter set status,

    While the reporter can only select from a limited selection of values to indicate their project-fe relatedness, the Administrator has a larger selection of values. The values appearing within the Recommended Status can be maintained through the maintenance table – COI Disposition Status.

 

Project Details: Protocol

Meta data pertaining to the project such as project name, Pi name etc. is displayed in this section. The disposition status for the project as a whole is also displayed on the header line.

Field	Description
Active Entities	The Active Entities column displays name of the reporter’s active financial entity. This is a read only field.
Comments	The Comments column displays any comments the reporter provided by the reporter when they established the Project-FE relatedness. Click on the green arrow  symbol to view full text in a separate browser window. This is a read only field.
Last Updated	The last updated column displays the date and timestamp of the last update made to the related/unrelated status. If the Administrator updates the Recommended Status column, the Last Updated column reflects the date time stamp of the last update. This is a red only field.
Updated By	The Updated By column displays the user name of the person who last updated the “Recommended Status” field.
Recommended Status	The Recommended Action selection allows the Administrator to override the Project-FE relation set by the reporter.  The selection values available for the administrator are - In progress, Exempt, Project Level Approval, No Conflict Exists, No Further Action, Best Practices Memo, Disclosed Interests Eliminated, Disclosed Interests Reduced, Disclosed Interests Managed, Submitted for Review, Under Review by COI Reviewer, Under COI Office Review, Under COI Committee Review, Awaiting Additional Information, Potential Relationship, Relationship Identified, Reviewer Identified Conflict, Unresolved and Disclosed Interests Unmanageable. Use the drop-down menu by clicking the down arrow to display the list, and then click on an item in the list to highlight and select it to populate the box with your selection.    Upon changing the disposition through the Recommended Status selection, the administrator is prompted by the system to perform a save action. “After a project-financial entity relationship change you must save before approving.”

    Once an administrator updates the Recommended Status field, the newly updated relatedness status would also be visible to the reporter within the “Related column” in the Financial Entities section of the disclosure page.

 

 

Adoption of Project-FE relatedness status with the highest numerical value as project and disclosure status

When multiple financial entities are related to a project, the system adopts the highest number of the project-fe statuses for the status display at the disclosure level and project level once the final action on the disclosure is performed by the administrator. The project-fe status entered by the reporter may or may not be overridden by the administrator.

    The statuses available to the administrator within the Administrator Action panel are maintained within the Maintenance Table COI Disposition Status. The calculation of which project-fe status to select as the overall status for the project/disclosure is based on the value of the numeric COI Disposition Code. The system considers lower values as “good” statuses and higher values as “bad” statuses. For e.g. Relationship Identified with a COI Disposition code of 320 is considered a better status than Unresolved with a COI Disposition code of 330.

 

Figure 891 KC Maintenance/Compliance – Conflict of Interest/COI Disposition Code

 

In the example below, the Administrator updates one of the project-fe relatedness statuses to “Reviewer Identified Conflict”. The COI Disposition value for this is 325, which is higher than the COI Disposition value for “Potential Relationship” 310.

Once final action of approve or disapprove is performed by the administrator, the Status on the header panel reflects the project-fe relatedness status with the highest value.

The status on the header of the project-fe panel on the disclosure page is also updated.
