Do I Have a Financial Interest that must be disclosed?
What financial interests should be disclosed
- If you are an Investigator who is receiving financial benefits, or has the potential to receive financial benefits, from the outcome of your research; or you have a financial interest in an entity that might benefit from research outcomes.
- If you receive or have the potential to receive anything of monetary value associated with:
- University contract, procurement of goods or services, investment or loan,
- gift directed to your program of scholarship or research,
- research program in which you participate, or
- project involving human or vertebrate animal participants.
- If you are holding a financial interest in a business from which the University purchases goods or services (e.g. University purchase from employee-owned company; faculty/staff having ownership interest or consulting for company from which University purchases services).
- If the University is subcontracting to a faculty-owned company.
- If you are holding a financial interest in a business that is the recipient of a University investment or loan.
- If you are an Investigator who is holding a financial interest in the sponsor of their research (e.g. faculty-owned company contracting or subcontracting to the University).
These are just some examples of financial interests that have to be disclosed and not an exhaustive list.
