Sponsors Requiring PHS COI Compliance
Federal agencies and organizations that follow PHS Financial Conflict of Interest regulations
Certain federal agencies and non‑profit organizations require Conflict of Interest (COI) review and management for research and sponsored projects, even when no disclosed outside activity has been identified as related to the project.
These sponsors follow the Public Health Service (PHS) Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) regulations, which serve as their COI policy standard. When research is sponsored by one of these agencies or organizations — either directly or through a subaward — PHS COI disclosure, review, and management requirements apply.
This information is intended to assist investigators and project staff at The University of Southern Mississippi in identifying when outside interest disclosures and COI review may be required for proposals and awards. This list is provided as a general reference; investigators should always review sponsor‑specific award terms and conditions to confirm applicable conflict of interest requirements.

The Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) is a national initiative that brings together federal agencies, academic research institutions, and nonprofit organizations to improve the efficiency of federally sponsored research and reduce administrative burden.
FDP provides external guidance and tools, including the FDP Expanded Clearinghouse, a centralized reference resource used by federal sponsors and pass‑through entities to access institutional profiles and compliance‑related information.
