Purpose
The objective of this policy is to promote the highest ethical standards in the conduct of research in situations where institutional conflicts of interest (“ICOI”) may occur, and to determine those instances when an ICOI is unacceptable. An ICOI may occur when a financial interest of the university (e.g., investments held by the university in a company) has the potential to bias research conducted by its employees or students, or creates an unacceptable risk to human subjects.
