The University of Vermont, as a public institution, is committed to serving Vermonters by fostering an open, mission-driven environment and responsibly managing resources. Its policies help manage complex relationships and meet national rules about conflicts of interest, commitment, and nepotism.
All covered persons (faculty, including visiting scientists and visiting scholars, exempt staff, and others identified by the President) must complete an annual conflict of interest disclosure form.
Non-covered persons are required to disclose conflicts to their supervisor as they occur.
Disclosures, whether made via UVM’s electronic disclosure form or another method, must also be updated during the year whenever interests change.
