When entering a collaboration or partnership of academic research with public or private sector grants and contracts a risk of conflict will present itself. California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) has adopted policies that regulate potential conflicts of interest among faculty and staff members employed on grants and contracts as required by federal, state, CSU, and CSUCI laws and policies. If a real or potential conflict is disclosed it will be confidentially reviewed, and a determination will be made whether the conflict requires the development of a resolution plan to address the conflicts.

CSUCI outlines institutional requirements for reporting and managing financial conflicts of interest related to research and sponsored programs, which can be viewed in the Policy on Principal Investigator Conflict of Interest.
