Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although policies and procedures for conflict of interest(COI) management of Japanese universities have rapidly been developed in recent years, research misconduct a factor of which seems to be deficient COI management has often come to be found. So, firstly we conducted a questionnaire on 1,000 faculty and outside members of governing council, etc., clarify their recognition to each specific COI problem, and we published a paper of the results. Secondly, including those results, we published ‘Making Conflict of Interest Management at Universities Work: Guidebook for the Management’. Thirdly, we also published ‘Learning Conflicts of Interest on Campus-Textbook on Conflicts of Interest Management at Universities’, and by those results we intended to contribute to the improvement of COI management at universities.
