Conflicts of Interest in Research

Conflict of Interest (COI) involves circumstances where an individual's professional actions or decisions at the University could be influenced by considerations of personal gain, usually of a financial nature, as a result of interests outside his/her University responsibilities. The central theme in addressing COI is transparency, and the first step is disclosure of the interest to the appropriate University administrative office.
