When do I submit my IRB application?  Who should be listed as an FCOI Investigator?  What is the FCOI training/FCOI declaration, and how do I do it?  Pre-award is telling me that funds can’t be released until RCS does an SFI or FCOI review – what does that mean?  Someone listed as an FCOI Investigator needs a “management plan” – what is that, and how does impact the release or administration of funds?  The award requires an RCR training plan – what is that and how do I get/create one?
