Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) in Research and Intellectual Property Policies

If you are a researcher, please note that completing your outside activity reporting responsibilities under APM 025 or APM 671 does not satisfy your separate obligation to comply with the reporting requirements for financial conflicts of interest in research. For more information on the FCOI filing process, please visit the Research Compliance and Integrity website.

Further, though the following memos and policies do not directly apply to UC's Conflict of Commitment procedures and reporting obligations, outside professional activities can be subject to additional Conflict of Interest or Intellectual Property policies and require additional consultation and steps to ensure compliance.
