FINAL DETERMINATION OF UNREPORTED CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

The determination must specify any actions to be taken to address the conflict of interest, impropriety, or self-dealing, including: (1) reconsideration of the application; or (2) referral of the application to another research and prevention programs committee for review. (b) The determination made under Subsection (a) is considered final unless three or more oversight committee members request that the issue be added to the agenda of the oversight committee. (c) The chief executive officer or, if applicable, the presiding officer of the oversight committee, shall provide written notice of the final determination, including any further actions to be taken, to the grant applicant requesting the investigation. (d) Unless specifically determined by the chief executive officer or, if applicable, the presiding officer of the oversight committee, or the oversight committee, the validity of an action taken on a grant application is not affected by the fact that an individual who failed to report a conflict of interest participated in the action.
