FCOI Disclosure is a two-step process: Significant Financial Interest Disclosure and Project Specific Disclosure.

重大财务利益披露(SFI):

This disclosure should be completed by any key personnel for a sponsored research project who have any significant outside financial interests. You can edit your SFI in Novelution by selecting 'My SFI Disclosure' from the FCOI drop down at the top. Your SFI should be updated whenever your interests change. 

具体项目披露:

Researchers who have submitted an SFI will be asked to complete a PSD for each sponsored project. The PSD asks the researcher to relate the goals and activities of their disclosed outside interests to the goals and activities of the sponsored research project in question.
