All individuals involved in research must complete financial conflicts of interest reporting on a yearly basis. If a new financial interest is acquired that requires disclosure (relates to a project you are working on) you must submit a new form or report it online within 30 days. Contact the Office of Research Compliance at (956) 665-2093.
Students who are not employed by UTRGV must complete this Outside Activity Disclosure (OAD) form. Please submit your OAD form on Tick@Lab with your submission.
- If you are being added to a project either through an amendment or a continuation, please include the completed form on either the Amendment tab, Continuation tab, or the Personnel tab.
- If you are submitting a new project, you may attach the completed form on the Personnel tab.
All UTRGV employees must log into the UT System Outside Activity Portal.
- Acknowledge the policies and answer the status questions in the Portal.
- Report any outside activity disclosures by clicking on ‘Make New Disclosure’ in the Portal.
- If you have nothing to report, please click on ‘Report No Activity’ in the Portal.
There are three levels of review for human subject studies.
