4 SBIR/STTR Program Eligibility For Profit business within the US with less than 500 employees. PI must be primarily employed by the Business during the SBIR award, excludes fulltime employment elsewhere. Small Business must do 2/3 of work for Phase I and 1/2 of work for Phase II. STTR equal between Business and University. Where are the Problems Undisclosed Financial COI by researchers SBIR work conducted at Your Institutions Theft or Embezzlement schemes Purchase Card Fraud False Invoices/Vendor & Consultants Travel Fraud Payroll & Stipend Fraud Policy on Grantee Conflict of Interest (COI) Encourages involvement with industry and private entrepreneurial ventures. Recognizes risk. Requires a written and enforceable COI Policy. Conflicts must be managed, reduced or eliminated. Conflicts that can not be managed must be reported. 4
5 Institutional COI Policies Require Investigator to disclose significant financial interests (self, spouse, children) prior to award and recertify annually: Interests that reasonably appear to affect the grant research or educational activities; Or, in entities whose financial interests would reasonably appear to be effected by the activities funded by the grant. COGR/AAU Defined COI as The term individual financial conflict of interest in science refers to situations in which financial considerations may compromise, or have the appearance of compromising, an investigator s professional judgment in conducting or reporting research.

6 SBIR & Your Institution SBIR/STTR subcontract to institution/to your researchers. Contracts/Agreements need to be finalized by OSP & Potential Conflicts need to be disclosed & managed. Small Business Incubation / Technology Transfer/ Patent Licensing Offices need to be part of the process. Researchers/Post Doc/Grad Students who start their own SBIR Company need to be aware of institutional policies. What can go wrong wasted time University researchers submit support letters in SBIR proposals but no contracts signed. University research reported to Federal Agencies as company research. SBIR company refuses to pay the university for research provided under contract. Federal Agents with Subpoenas to your institution. When it goes Seriously Wrong Researchers use institutional resources to conduct work for SBIR Company without approval. Researcher starts SBIR company and misuse Post Docs and Grad Students to conduct research without approval. Criminal Investigation identify false charges to the University research accounts and false SBIR reports submitted to Agencies from Company. 6
7 Best Practices to Protect Institution Researchers must disclose interests (COI Process)as SBIR Company owner/consultant/subcontractor. COI Mitigation plan must be put into place to protect subordinates, students and resources. OSP must be consulted and contracts finalized for all SBIR/STTR research conducted. Technology Transfer office consulted to ensure that all University technology is licensed. Questions and Comments
