Conflicts of Interest

Investigators on externally funded projects disclose significant financial interests, such as consulting fees, honoraria, or equity, when applying for funding and during the award, so the college can manage any conflict with their professional obligations.

• Financial Conflict of Interest Policy (PDF, revised June 2026). Section 1 applies to all externally funded research; Section 2 adds requirements for research funded by the Public Health Service, including NIH.
• Disclosure forms: grants office forms and policies
