- The request lists either the name of an investigator or a PHS award number. Only one name or award number may be listed on each request. Individuals may submit more than one request.
- An investigator’s name is listed; all the required FCOI information for that investigator will be provided. If a PHS award number is listed, all the required FCOI information about that award will be provided.
