»Ê¹ÚÌåÓý

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio in collaboration with Partnerships and Innovation (Research Contracts Unit) proudly present, the sixth session in our Resources 4 Research @ »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s Webinar Series, Conflict of Interest in a Research or Commercialization Project.

To avoid a potential conflict of interest (COI) or a conflict of commitment (time) with outside activities, faculty members should make formal prior disclosure to ensure that primary responsibilities are met, that a given commitment may enhance the reputation of the faculty member and the University or that a conflict or potential conflict is resolved.

We will describe some of the actual challenges that »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s researchers have faced in complying with policies and rules in various circumstances. 

We will answer these questions, along with those you may have:

• What is »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s process to manage a PI’s financial Conflict of Interest in a research study?
• What declarations are required when funded by government agencies?
• Can you employ family to work on your research project?
