Mitigation/Monitoring Of Financial Conflicts of Interest
UCF researchers drive intellectual capital and innovation to solve today’s most pressing problems.
How To Mitigate Financial Conflicts
Once a potential conflict of interest is identified, the university is responsible for ensuring that such conflict is mitigated and/or properly monitored. Examples of how to mitigate Financial Conflicts of Interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Public disclosure of Financial Conflicts of Interest (e.g., when presenting or publishing the research);
Disclosure of Financial Conflicts of Interest directly to human subjects research participants;
Change of personnel or personnel responsibilities, or disqualification of personnel from participation in all or a portion of the research;
Reduction or elimination of Significant Financial Interests (e.g., sale of an equity interest);
Severance of relationships that create financial conflicts;
Modification of the research plan;
Monitoring of research by independent reviewer(s)
If monitoring of the identified conflict is required, the investigator shall abide by the conditions under which his/her outside activity is permitted.
