Education

The  2012 university compliance training and conflict-of-interest reporting window began in November of 2012. We have implemented  a new and improved system for conflict of interest reporting for university faculty and unclassified staff.

Regarding annual compliance training for all university faculty and staff:

• Computer Security Awareness Training; Environment, Health & Safety General Safety Tutorial; Respect in the Classroom and Workplace: Preventing Prohibited Harassment; and Workplace Violence Training may be accessed through myKUMC (my.kumc.edu) and selecting the "Training" link and then the "Chalk Online Training" link. Modules with red exclamation marks indicate that you need to complete that module. Green checkmarks indicate that you are up-to-date on that module.
• Please complete these modules by the end of calendar year 2012.

Regarding annual conflict of interest reporting, which is only completed by university faculty and unclassified staff:

1. We have implemented a one-university system this year for conflict-of-interest reporting, and the system is housed at the KU-Lawrence campus, so you will not access Chalk to complete your conflict of interest form.
2. Instead, anyone who needs to complete a conflict of interest disclosure will receive an email from the KU-Lawrence system (kucoisys@ku.edu), and the email will contain a link that will take you to the COI reporting system.
3. Email notifications will be sent out in waves over the next weeks.
4. Log in to the system using your regular KUMC network user name and password.
5. The system is fairly intuitive, but if you need any assistance, here is the link to a brief user guide that will walk you through the screens that you will be filling out. - http://www.rcr.ku.edu/~rcr/coi/systemtraining.shtml
6.  If you have any questions about the form or how to fill it out, please contact Juliann Gardner at 8-0940 or jgardner3@kumc.edu .

For Supervisors

As in the past, immediate supervisors will be asked to review all annual COI reports submitted by individuals who report directly to them. Instead of reviewing and signing a paper form, the new system is entirely online. Once the supervisor's review is complete, there is no further approval or action required at the department or school level.

To aid in the review/approval process, a KU COI Reporting System Guide for Supervisors can be found at http://www.rcr.ku.edu/~rcr/coi/systemtraining.shtml.

Thank you for your patience as we've implemented the new system, and thanks in advance for your patience as we work through any potential difficulties that sometimes accompanies the implementation of a new system.
