The Conflict Review Process

The general purpose of reviews is to help employees and the University avoid or control risks to the integrity and reputation engendered by external relationships. At the same time, the Conflict Review Process is designed to protect and further the interests of employees, the University, and society in the activities supported by sponsored research and contributions.

Although this process is separate from and different than the institutional processes related to technology transfer, patents, and licensing, an approved Conflict Management Plan may be necessary to conclude transactions in these other areas.
