Financial Conflicts of Interest for HWS Researchers

In order to comply with Federal regulations, Hobart and William Smith Colleges have a responsibility to manage, reduce, or eliminate any actual or potential financial conflicts of interest (FCoI) that may be presented by a financial interest of an Investigator. The Colleges therefore require that Investigators disclose any Significant Financial Interest that would reasonably appear to be directly and significantly affected by an actual or potential conflict of interest in relationship with a sponsored project.

If you are submitting a proposal to a federal agency, read the Financial Conflict of Interest Policy for HWS Researchers in full. Submitting your FCoI disclosure is part of the online proposal routing and approval (OPRA) process.
