			 activities of faculty and have issued regulations that require the
			 establishment of standards and procedures to ensure that the design, conduct,
			 or reporting of funded research will not be biased by any conflicting financial
			 interest of the investigator.
The regulations require universities to develop,
				publish, and enforce institutional policies which comply with the requirements
				for regular, timely, and full disclosure of actual or potential conflicts of
				interests as they relate to significant financial interests which could
				reasonably be seen by an impartial observer as affecting the design, conduct,

			 activities.
(2)
									The university official will review these disclosures
			 and determine whether any reported significant financial interests could
			 directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of the
			 research and, if so, such conflicts must be resolved by an administrative
			 process.
(3)
									The vice president and dean, research and graduate
			 studies, is responsible for administering the policy in accordance with
