Graduate School Policies

The purpose of this interim policy for Financial Conflict of Interest for NSF-, NIH-, and PHS-sponsored projects is to ensure that all individuals affiliated with the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM), currently participating in research activities funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) or Public Health Service (PHS includes NIH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other agencies), are familiar and comply with the federal regulations on Objectivity in Research, and that ULM meets all requirements to ensure its continued eligibility to receive grants and contracts from these agencies. Failure to comply with this policy can jeopardize continued or future funding from these agencies.
