Conflict of Interest

An important component of the Research Integrity Program at UMB is the management of financial conflicts of interest in research. The office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs oversees the management process for such conflicts.

The UMB procedures, which fulfill the requirements of the USM Policy, specify what financial conflicts of interest are and how they are managed at UMB.

Questions concerning the policy and procedures and their application may be directed to the Research Integrity Office:
Alison Watkins (410-706-1266)
Joe Giffels (410-706-1853)

The Frequently Asked Questions page may also provide information about the policy and procedures and their implementation.
