Accessibility of Disclosure Documentation
Prior to the Institutions’ expenditure of any funds under a PHS Funded Research, the Institution will ensure public accessibility, via a written response to any requestor within five business days of a request, of information concerning any SFI disclosed to the Institution that meets the following three criteria:
The SFI was disclosed and is still held by the Covered Individual;
The Institution determines that the SFI is related to the PHS Funded Research; and
The Institution determines that the SFI is a FCOI.
The information that the Institution makes available via a written response to any requestor within five business days of a request, will include, at a minimum, the following:
The information the Institution keeps will be updated at least annually. In addition, the Institution will update its files within sixty days of the receipt or identification of information concerning any additional SFI of the Covered Individual for the PHS Funded Research that was not previously disclosed, or upon the disclosure of a SFI of a Covered Individual new to the PHS Funded Research, if the Institution determines that the SFI is related to the PHS Funded Research and is a FCOI.
If the Institution responds to written requests for the purposes of this subsection, the Institution will note in its written response that the information provided is current as of the date of the correspondence and is subject to updates, on at least an annual basis and within 60 days of the Institution’s identification of a new FCOI, which should be requested subsequently by the requestor.
Information concerning the SFI of a Covered Individual shall remain available, for responses to written requests for at least three years from the date that the information was most recently updated.
