A document developed by the COIC Office and approved by the applicable Supervising Authority to (1) obtain information and commitments regarding Significant Interests and prevent such Significant Interests from developing into Conflicts of Interest, and/or (2) Manage Conflict(s) of Interests for a particular Discloser.

• The Management Plan may address the areas of university responsibilities implicated, including:
  
  1. Objectivity and scientific integrity, including Disclosure of a Discloser鈥檚 Conflict in publications and presentations;
  2. Objective treatment of students and/or subordinates;
  3. Objective treatment of, and scientific integrity with respect to, human subjects;
  4. Decisions regarding the development, Disclosure, and use of university Intellectual Property;
  5. Decisions regarding the decision to purchase products or services;
  6. Decisions regarding the use of the Discloser鈥檚 time as well as other resources of the university; and
  7. Decisions regarding the appropriate rate to charge an outside entity for services performed by university employees.

Yes, you may engage in outside work under certain conditions. However, it is important to avoid a Conflict of Commitment. According to University , Conflicts of Commitment relate to an individual university employee鈥檚 distribution of effort between employment obligations to the university and outside professional activities. A Conflict of Commitment arises when time dedicated to professional service, consultation, or research contracted outside the university or other outside activities (e.g., outside teaching or business) interfere with the employee鈥檚 paramount obligations to students, colleagues, and the primary missions of the university. Conflicts of Commitment primarily involve questions of time and effort but are often tied to financial remuneration or other obligations/inducements, and in such cases may also constitute Conflicts of Interest.

1. Tenured and Tenure-Track Faculty.
   The Board of Regents recognizes that full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty members are expected to dedicate their professional time and effort to the university.听However, as described in : 鈥渙utside consultation, research, clinical, and other work can serve to keep faculty in contact with real problems in their profession and expand their expertise and thus, to the extent authorized by regent laws and policies, are desirable and legitimate functions.鈥� Accordingly, subject to certain conditions (including a commitment to limit outside work to no more than one-sixth of time), the university may allow full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty (on both 9-month and 12-month appointments) to obtain approval for outside consultation, research, clinical, and other external professional activities that are related to their professional expertise in their university position. These Faculty should obtain approval using the Application for Approval of Consulting and Other Outside Work Form. See , .
2. Other University Employees.听
   All university employees (including but not limited to research faculty) other than tenured or tenure鈥恡rack faculty are not permitted to use university time for personal benefit nor for the benefit of external entities, unless approved by the employee鈥檚 Supervising Authority. Supervising Authorities may not authorize such service unless the service advances the interest of the university and does not unduly conflict with the staff member鈥檚 university responsibilities. Moreover, any compensation received for consulting and service on external boards occurring during the staff member鈥檚 normal working hours must be remitted to the university unless the employee is working on authorized vacation or unpaid leave.听Research Associates, PRAs, Research Professors, Lecturers, Teaching Professors and Instructors should obtain approval using the Application for Approval of Consulting and Other Outside Work Form. All other employees should obtain approval using the Authorization to Engage in Outside Employment Form.听See .

For more information, please view the Approval of Consulting and Other Outside Work Guidelines and Procedure document.听

After you submit a DEPA Form, the COIC Office will review the Disclosure to determine if a Conflict of Interest and/or Commitment exists. Disclosure of a Significant Interest(s) that reasonably appears to be related to your Institutional Responsibilities may prompt implementation of a Conflict of Interest and Commitment Management Plan.

The COIC Director will review the Disclosures to determine if any disclosed Significant Interests relate to sponsored or other research. A Significant Interest relates to sponsored or other research when the Significant Interest could be affected by the research or is an entity whose financial interests could be affected by the research. Based on this information, the COIC Director determines whether the Significant Interest could compromise (or appear to compromise) your judgment in exercising any of your university responsibilities, or if the Significant Interest could directly and significantly affect the purpose, design, conduct, or reporting of sponsored or other research.

1. If the COIC Director reasonably determines that the Significant Interest could neither compromise your judgment in exercising your university responsibilities nor directly and significantly affect the purpose, design, conduct, or reporting of sponsored or other research, then no Conflict of Interest exists. If no Conflict exists, you may be required to execute a Management Plan reflecting your commitment to prevent the Significant Interest from ripening into a Conflict of Interest. Your Supervising Authority must approve this Management Plan and the commitments you make. The COIC Office will provide approval notification to you and update your status in its records accordingly.
2. If the COIC Director reasonably determines that the Significant Interest could either compromise your judgment in exercising your university responsibilities or directly and significantly affect the purpose, design, conduct, or reporting of sponsored or other research, then a Conflict of Interest exists. If a Conflict exists, the COIC Office will develop a Management Plan to manage it.

View COIC Review Process

Conflict of Interest or Commitment violations include, but are not limited to:

1. Failure to disclose Conflicts of Interest and/or Commitment;
2. False or inadequate Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest and/or Commitment;
3. Failure to adhere to a prescribed Management Plan; and
4. Failure to adhere to training or reporting requirements.

If the COIC Office determines that an alleged Conflict of Interest or Commitment violation(s) has occurred, the COIC Office will refer the matter to the Supervising Authority for investigation under applicable campus supervisory and/or conduct processes and for potential sanctions. The COIC Office will assist with the matter as requested. In addition, the matter may be referred to other applicable campus units, including, but not limited to: Office of Contracts and Grants, Campus Controller鈥檚 Office, Office of Export Controls, and the Campus Misconduct Advisory Group as necessary in order to protect the university as well as sponsors.

If the alleged violation, including failure of a Discloser to comply with the COIC Policy or a Conflict of Interest Management Plan, appears to have biased the design, conduct, or reporting of sponsored research, the university will comply with any notification and reporting requirements regarding such bias to the applicable sponsor. Specifically, for situations involving PHS-funded research, the university will promptly notify the PHS Awarding Component of the corrective action taken or to be taken.
