Any individual, including a Visitor, who is independently responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research at the University of Pittsburgh must undergo conflict of interest training. As part of this process, the Visitor will be asked to disclose both conflicts of interest and commitment, which include all financial, personal and professional interests, activities and relationships that the Visitor may have with any non-University entities that create, or could be perceived to create, a conflict of interest or commitment. The University’s Conflict of Interest Office [LINK] has developed training to identify these potential conflicts and provides further information on them.
