What is it?• Published in 2011, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) Regulation (“Final Rule” of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services [HHS]) provided an update to the predecessor 1995 NIH FCOI Regulation.
• On August 25, 2011, HHS entered into the Federal Register (Vol. 76, No. 165, Part IV), the Final Rule “Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for which Public Health Service [PHS] Funding is Sought and Responsible Prospective Contractors” (42 CFR Part 50 Subpart F for grants and cooperative agreements and 45 CFR Part 94 for contracts, respectively).

aggregated minimum threshold of $5,000 for disclosure of the listed types of remuneration, equity interests, etc.
• For non-publicly traded entities (e.g., many spin-off companies), there is the same $5,000 minimum threshold for the disclosure of remuneration but this threshold does not apply to equity interests which must be reported regardless of real or estimated value.
• Any reimbursed or sponsored (see definition) travel related to the Investigator's Institutional Responsibilities must be disclosed if the aggregated monetary value exceeds $5,000 per entity paid to the specific Investigator in the previous 12 months.
