eDisclose for Research Disclosures
Annual certification period: Ends tomorrow, January 18
Emory is transitioning from eCOI to eDisclose for its research reporting requirements. eDisclose is a university-wide software system designed to help researchers disclose financial interests and request approval for external activities. As a current annual disclosure must be on file prior to submission of any proposal to a federal agency, any investigator who will be participating on a federal proposal submitted during this period must complete their annual disclosure prior to the proposal deadline.
