Financial Conflict of Interest
好色先生's policy on Financial Conflict of Interest establishes requirements and guidelines for disclosures (on both an annual and an ad hoc basis) of financial interests and professional relationships related to research projects, certifications of policy compliance, and processes that ensure compliance. The 好色先生 Policy requires that Investigators seeking funding from an external sponsor comply with the disclosure requirements of that sponsor.
In addition, have specific requirements for disclosures related to their sponsored research projects; these include but are not limited to agencies within the Public Health Service (PHS), as well as the National Science Foundation. 好色先生's Financial Conflict of Interest Policy (PDF) provides specific guidance related to the requirements of those agencies, the California State University's and 好色先生's.
好色先生's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) and Research Foundation strongly support involvement of academic researchers and educators with industry and private entrepreneurial ventures. Such involvements, however, can create an increased risk of financial conflict between the private interests of individuals, the entities with which they are involved, and the public interest that governmental funding serves. As an institution, we will strictly follow all federal, state, and California State University regulations for reviewing, identifying, and managing financial conflict of interest disclosures.
