Disclosures & Scholarly Activities Management

The role of Disclosures & Scholarly Activities Management (DSAM, formerly the DRM) and the UM COI Committee (COIC) is to determine whether an investigator’s relationship with an external entity creates a situation that could introduce bias into the scholarly activities conducted at UM or by UM investigators, and, where this occurs, to manage it.

Our team of professionals is dedicated to supporting the research community through Quality Reviews of human subject research, assistance with Corrective & Preventive Action (CAPA) Plans, Federal inspection preparation & support, GxP compliance advisory, and research compliance education. Our goal is to facilitate continuous quality improvement to protect our research participants and data integrity.

Research Security Program

The University of Miami's Research Security Program (RSP) is designed to safeguard the integrity and security of our Faculty and research activities. The RSP provides comprehensive guidelines, resources, and training materials to support our researchers in maintaining the highest standards of research security and compliance.

Conflict of Interest

The University of Miami values the relationships of our investigators with outside entities, and encourages appropriate collaborations that foster new scientific insights while assuring transparency and objectivity in research and the integrity of the scientific record. The University of Miami's conflict of interest (COI) and foreign influence (FI) policy is designed to promote objectivity in research, scholarly and educational activities funded under external grants, contracts or cooperative agreements. UDisclose is the University system that allows all individuals to disclose external financial interests, foreign engagements and other disclosures as required.
