Conflicts of Interest

marketing meeting

 

Federal regulations and university policy outline conflict of interest disclosure requirements for faculty, staff, and students involved in the design, conduct, or reporting of research. Completion of required forms allow ORA to determine whether a Significant Financial Interest constitutes a financial conflict of interest and requires a management plan.

University Policy 54 governs conflict of disclosure and managements for all university personnel regardless of funding source.

 The Office of Research Administration also utilizes Supplemental Procedures for Externally Funded Projects.
