The University of Minnesota's Approach to Protecting the University and its Employees

What is the University’s approach to potential conflict of interest and disclosures?

- Though they occur rarely, actual conflicts are not tolerated.
- Potential conflicts are common, but they can usually be managed effectively.
- Research involving human subjects has more restrictions on conflicting interests because the risks are higher.
- Management of potential conflicts is in the best interest of all researchers.
- The University will support employees who have disclosed conflicting interests and follow a management plan.
