Risk Management Model Project at Tohoku University

Abstract

Since the introduction of COI management right after incorporation, Tohoku University has carried out our original COI management in order to make it an effective system with continual efforts. In this Risk Management Model Project sponsored by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in FY 2015 and 2016, we created Operational Manual after reviewing our current system including our new challenges. In addition, we developed our COI management model, summarized our in-house cases, and put them together as Case Studies along with our research conducted at some institutions in the United States as well as Case Study Meeting that we hold at our university. In this paper, we will present the details of our COI management and the future dissemination of our achievements.
