Conflict of Interest in Research
The Conflict of Interest Committee evaluates research when an investigator discloses a significant financial
interest that may influence the conduct of the activity. The Committee determines what, if any, conditions or
restrictions should be imposed on the investigator or research protocol in order to manage, reduce or eliminate
such conflicts of interest.
The conflict of interest and commitment policies of the University serve as a
guide to faculty and other employees with principal responsibility for research projects conducted at San Diego State
University and establish procedures to be followed to comply with State and Federal requirements for review and
oversight of research.
