How to Disclose

Initial disclosures are made through Cayuse as part of the pre-award process via the Cayuse Outside Interest system.

Submit a Disclosure

Questions on the form will lead you through disclosure requirements. Disclosures are required at the initial submission of a grant proposal, annually thereafter for funded projects, and on an ad hoc basis within 30 days of acquiring a new interest. Disclosures are reviewed to identify potential financial conflicts of interest. Any conflicts of interest that are identified must be managed or eliminated within 60 days.

Steps for Completing a Disclosure
