The purpose of the UNM Conflicts of Interest in Research Policy is to protect the integrity, trust, and respect of UNM, its academic community and its research activities. It enables compliance with applicable laws and other regulatory requirements to protect investigators who may be exposed to conflict of interest situations.
A conflict of interest is a situation associated with an investigator’s research in which it reasonably appears, on an actual or potential basis, that the investigator’s significant financial interest or situation could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of UNM research activities or compromise professional commitments or allegiance to UNM.
