Conflict of Interest Review Committee (CIRC)
The Conflict of Interest Review Committee (CIRC) is an independent faculty body, advisory to the Vice Chancellor for Research, that reviews investigator financial interests to determine whether real or perceived conflicts of interest may be present. Prior to acceptance of an award, the Vice Chancellor for Research reviews the CIRC’s recommendations and makes a final determination as to whether the conflict must be reduced, eliminated, or managed. In some cases, reviews are also conducted in relation to license negotiations or material transfer agreements involving The Regents. To see when and what to disclose, please refer to the above links on this page.
