A Comprehensive Conflict Management Plan

A comprehensive Conflict Management Plan is a written proposal for proactively managing potential conflicts of interest. A written plan demonstrates the intent to comply with University requirements under the Regents Policy. A comprehensive management plan typically includes:

1. Full description of the external relationship(s)
2. Identification of the area(s) of potential conflict of interest
3. Management strategies to guard against the escalation of a true conflict of interest.

A proposed plan should clearly describe and fully explain the nature of the relationship(s) involved and how the actions proposed will help the faculty avoid perceived or actual conflicts. Management plans should be written in lay terms, using language understandable to non-expert readers.
