- The university has determined that the SFI is related to the PHS-funded research; and

Pursuant to federal regulations and USF policy, the information that the USF Conflict of Interest Program Manager will make available to any requestor shall include, at a minimum, the following:
- The Investigator's name;
- The Investigator's title and role with respect to the USF research project;
- The name of the entity in which the SFI is held;
