A Project Specific Disclosure form must be filed to disclose, initially, any significant financial interest that could reasonably appear to be affected by the design, conduct or reporting of covered research. "Covered research" on the Charles River Campus (CRC) includes all externally funded research and all human subjects research. "Covered research" at the Boston University Medical Center includes all research. This same form is also used for "supplemental disclosure" to report any "material change" in a previously filed disclosure.
