Conflict of Interest Committee Description

University of Kansas Lawrence Campus Conflict of Interest disclosures are reviewed by a representative advisory committee ("Conflict of Interest Committee") which makes a recommendation to the Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Studies and the Provost about the management of a conflict situation.

The Conflict of Interest Committee will consist of five faculty and unclassified staff members; a non-KU affiliate member; and ex officio non-voting members from the offices of the Provost, the Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Studies, and the Human Subjects Committee. Voting members are appointed by the Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Studies and serve rotating three-year terms. The Conflict of Interest Committee is not a policy making body, but can make policy recommendations.

Committee members review each Conflict of Interest Form B Disclosure Statement submitted and make recommendations as to whether an actual or perceived conflict of interest exists. The Conflict of Interest Committee may request additional information as necessary.

Conflict of Interest Committee recommendations are forwarded to the Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Studies and the Provost for final approval of the disposition of each potential conflict of interest situation. All information provided to the Conflict of Interest Committee will be maintained in strict confidence.
