Monitoring Form (Word)

To be used by disclosers who have a conflict management plan with a monitoring component; to be completed and returned to the COIC Office in conjunction with annual DEPA submission, or when otherwise requested. The discloser's signature is required.

Each campus within the University of babyÖ±²¥app system has its own office for Conflicts of Interest, and reporting system. See the following links for the non-Boulder campuses:

•  (comply@uccs.edu)
•  (Denver and Anschutz campuses) coi@ucdenver.edu

Use of Self-Authored Instructional Material Approval Form

During the DEPA reporting process, disclosers are asked to certify that department approval has been obtained for self-authored instructional material that is required in classes taught at CU. Copies of this approval form remains housed with the discloser and department (if required); it is not submitted to the COIC Office.

Affiliations with non-U.S. entities require special considerations. The COIC disclosure form solicits this information. All such affiliations must be reported during the application of federally sponsored projects, and the Export Control Office must be contacted for affiliations involving federally sanctioned/embargoed countries. Federal notices can provide additional information.

A foreign talent recruitment program is an effort organized, managed, or funded by a foreign government, or a foreign government instrumentality or entity, to recruit science and technology professionals or students. Disclosers are required to seek guidance from the Office of Research Integrity (Research Security) prior to agreeing to participate in any program or activity or to accepting an appointment to any position sponsored by a foreign country or entity. The university prohibits participation in malign foreign recruitment programs as defined by U.S. law.

1. providing updated disclosure reports (DEPAs);
2. including the Standard Addendum for Consulting and Third Party Employment into external agreements in order to avoid conflict with the University's Intellectual Property policy;
3. being aware of the roles/responsibilities and limitations related to graduate student involvement in babyÖ±²¥app affiliated entities.
4. note that the Director of the Office of Conflicts of Interest & Commitment may be asked by businesses/parties external to the University to formally verify the status of a discloser. Brief letters, memos, notices, and form completions are typically acceptable types of documentation that may be provided. However, the University will not review nor enter into legally binding agreements / other types of legal instruments where official University business is not involved, even if those instruments appear to be primarily for the purposes of verification.
