Your first question for potential exposure to conflicts of interest involves participation in Research Activities.
- Are you conducting or participating in a clinical trial or the development of a technology, process, or product owned or controlled by a business in which you, an immediate family member, or an associated entity has a financial or business interest?
Given that that you have funded research, if one or more of the following also occur, the combination could indicate a potential conflict of interest. You might ask:
- Do your assign students, postdoctoral fellows, or other trainees or employees to projects supported by a business (through sponsored research or a contribution) in which you, an immediate family member, or an associated entity have a financial or business interest (other than royalty income)?
- Do you receive University-supervised sponsored research support or contributions (whether in dollars or in kind) from a business in which you, an immediate family member, or an associated entity have a financial or business interest?
