GWSPH Research Notice of Information

Dear Research Colleagues,

Thank you for your patience and work in these challenging times – and as you have seen GW, GWSPH, and all of us are working hard to try and maintain continuity of operations including research.

I wanted to alert you to 2 announcements from the NIH in regards to NIH-funded research (though some of these may apply to other federal agencies, or the principles may be helpful in other cases). These notices provide some guidance to research operations and also show what flexibility you may have as you work to ensure your research studies are kept ongoing. Please see:

  1. Questions around research during COVID-19 (10 Mar 2020):

https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-20-083.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

  1. Flexibility for research during COVID-19 (12 Mar 2020):

https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-20-086.html

And do also review my memo of 11 Mar (2020). In all cases, please inform GW IRB if you make any changes to the study, stay in touch with your donor/s, and follow GW guidelines (GW Corona website. – https://campusadvisories.gwu.edu/covid-19).

Tomorrow: Bioethics Interest Group Meeting

In recent months, the issue of foreign influences on U.S. research has been in the press for all the wrong reasons, including terminations of employment for a number of professors from a few institutions.

The first Bioethics Interest Group (BIG) meeting for this semester will focus on “Foreign Influences on U.S. Research and Disclosure of Foreign Research Collaborations.”  Dr. Paul Ndebele, Senior Research Regulatory Specialist in the Office of Research Excellence, will present two recent cases on non-disclosure of foreign collaborations and facilitate discussions on lessons learned and best practices around disclosure of foreign collaborations. This topic is relevant for GW investigators and students engaged in research activities outside the U.S., including international research collaborations.

Please join us tomorrow, September 26, 2019 at 12:00-1:00 in the 7th Floor Conference Room for this important discussion.

REMINDER: Conflict of Interest Seminar TODAY

Dealing with Conflict of Interest in a Growing Research Environment: Time for a fresh look

 Friday March 1st | 11:00-12:00
Milken Institute SPH | 5th Floor Conference Room

Conflict of interest (COI) in research continues to be a hot topic of discussion
with much of the attention stemming from its negative impacts on research.
Consequently, a significant proportion of investigators do not feel
comfortable discussing their conflicting interests, while institutions have not
contributed towards building an environment which makes it easy for COI to
be openly discussed and managed adequately.

Dr. Paul Ndebele, Research Regulatory Specialist at ORE will discuss the
structures and procedures for handling COIs within GW and some of the
challenges associated. This seminar will also propose new ways of looking at
COI within a growing research environment including suggestions on the
development of robust COI management plans. Seminar is intended for
researchers, research leaders, and research administrators.
Light refreshments will be served.
