Conflict of Interest

Bloomberg School of Public Health
Most conflicts of interest can be prevented by disclosure and discussion. Faculty are expected to discuss outside activities with their chair and disclose all outside activities related to their teaching and research. Faculty reports are to be reviewed by chairs and forwarded to the Dean or the Dean's designee. Disclosures of concern should be reviewed by the Committee on Conflict of Interest, if requested by the chair, Dean or faculty member.

School of Medicine
To protect against the potential risks posed by financial and fiduciary conflicts of interest, the School of Medicine has adopted a revised Policy on Conflict of Interest. This policy is designed to identify arrangements involving faculty, staff, trainees, students and others ("covered parties," See Section I, "Definitions") who have a financial or fiduciary interest in an outside entity where such arrangements may represent a source of conflict or an appearance of conflict in the conduct and reporting of all research.
