Universities using Cayuse OI-how do you ensure annual RBDs for active federal awards?

  • 1.  Universities using Cayuse OI-how do you ensure annual RBDs for active federal awards?

    Posted 15 days ago

    Our university is currently in the implementation phase of the Cayuse Outside Interests (OI) module.

    Cayuse seems to be structured so that investigators are required to submit a proposal-specific research-based disclosure (RBD) at the time of proposal submission and an award-specific RBD at the time of award. However, federal regulations also require investigators working on federally funded research to disclose their financial interests annually, and to update their disclosures within 30 days if their interests change.

    For universities currently using the Cayuse OI module:
    How does your office ensure that investigators actively working on a federal award are submitting new or updated RBDs annually during the life of the project to meet this requirement?

     Appreciate any insight! Thanks!
