the VA Research Office to evaluate and route the project.
This form must be completed by a VA PI when submitting
a study/grant that uses VA resources (VA patients, VA
space, or VA equipment).
Conflict
of Interest in Research Form (118KB, MSWord)
If the screening questions on the Proposed Project Questionnaire
identify a conflict of interest for any member of the
research team, each team member with a potential
conflict must complete this form. The completed
form(s) must be submitted with the PPQ.

Financial Administrative Review
Financial
Administrative Review (183KB, MSWord)
The financial administrative review process identifies
those research-related study activities that impact
non-research resources of the VA Medical Center. This
paperwork is required for all human studies proposals
which will use medical center resources such as extra
clinic time, MRIs, labs, pharmacy, etc.
Be sure to include these research-related costs into
budgets for all new studies, regardless of study administrator
(OHSU, PVARF, or VA). The costs will be returned to
the VA Medical Center once study enrollment begins.
