Conflict of Interest

UT Southwestern Medical Center and the Conflict of Interest Office (VPN Required) ensure that relationships with outside entities do not:

  • Bias the design, conduct, or reporting of research
  • Detract from teaching, research, clinical, or administrative responsibilities
  • Influence the research training of students or trainees
  • Result in improper transfers of state resource

Employees who are required to complete a Statement of Financial Interests will be notified via email. These employees are called “Covered Individuals.” Covered Individuals must complete and submit a new Statement of Financial Interests every year before March 1st, and throughout the year within 30 days of any changes.

Please see the Tip Sheet on Accessing the COI-Info Portal for additional instructions on submitting a Statement of Financial Interests.
