Re: Conflict of Interest and Financial Disclosure Jon Elizabeth Hart 01 Jul 2002 08:49 EST

At Rockefeller, we require the same financial disclosure statement for
non-federal as for federal.  Our policy applies to all research done on
campus.  We have a conflict of interest statement that has to be completed
for all funding applications, and there is a more detailed financial
disclosure statement that each faculty has to file annually with the
President's Office.
Hope this helps.
Joni.
