Conflict of Interest-Conflict of Commitment

The University of Chicago's Conflict of Interest/ Conflict of Commitment Policy requires that all individuals with the designation of faculty, or other academic appointment, file annually a Conflict of interest-Conflict of Commitment Disclosure. Furthermore, any individual that is engaged in the design, conduct or reporting of research, or is considered "key personnel" must comply with the policy. This is a University wide policy, and applies regardless of whether the faculty or academic is engaged in research, or receives external research funding, and regardless of whether they have a full time or part time appointment.

In addition to completing a Conflict of Interest Disclosure form, researchers who are applying for and/or funded by a PHS agency or agencies that follow PHS guidelines, must show evidence of completing conflict of interest training.

Note: To facilitate compliance with applicable law, reporting obligations and institutional policies, information disclosed may be shared with officials and administrators responsible for conflict of interest-conflict of commitment oversight at both The University of Chicago and The University of Chicago Medical Center.
