Consulting Disclosure and Approval

If a faculty member, or any other University personnel subject to the consulting policy, do any work for a faculty affiliated company, whether or not compensation is received, prior consulting approval from the University is required. This approval is required even if the faculty affiliated company is not currently paying the faculty member.

For faculty members who have an ownership interest in a start-up company, that ownership must be disclosed when seeking consulting approval.

Faculty members must get consulting approval from the Department Head, Dean, and Provost if working for a faculty affiliated company in a paid or unpaid capacity.

Faculty must seek approval for the Use of University Resources , including University equipment, while consulting. Faculty members must reimburse the University for using University resources beyond di minimus amounts.

UCPEA staff should adhere to the provisions in Article 39 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Approval under the University’s Faculty Consulting system is in addition to any other disclosure statements (e.g., for research financial disclosures).

Any consulting activity that is ongoing requires a new request form every fiscal year.

For questions related to the faculty consulting policy, contact the campus Faculty Consulting Office.

Disclosure of Financial Interests

Disclosure in Publications, Presentations, and Transactions

Individuals must disclose ownership and consulting relationships, if any, with a faculty affiliated company/external entity in all publications, presentations, and transactions related to the company’s technology. Likewise, the faculty affiliated company would disclose its relationship with the faculty member, and the individual’s role with the company, in all publications, presentations, and transactions related to the individual’s work in the development and marketing of its technology.

When an individual files an application for any grant or contract, whether through the University or through a faculty affiliated company/external entity, the individual must disclose their financial interest with the company as required by the granting or contracting entity.

For Investigators who own equity in a faculty affiliated company or start-up company, the ownership must also be disclosed through the University’s financial interest filing process described below.

Financial Conflict of Interest in Research – Disclosure and Management

Individuals at the University involved in research must make full and timely disclosures to the Financial Conflict of Interest in Research Committee of all financial interests meeting the disclosure threshold for Significant Financial Interests (SFIs) within the InfoEd External Interests system.

This includes disclosure of any and all equity or other ownership interests in non publicly-traded entities, such as faculty affiliated companies or other non-public external entities, even if the company has no current value or the value is unknown.

These disclosures are reviewed and, where required, managed, reduced, or eliminated to address potential conflicts in the design, conduct, or reporting of research according to the University’s Financial Conflict of Interest in Research policy. In some instances, there may be specific sponsor policies or requirements that are more restrictive than State ethics laws and UConn policy, and such applicable portions of sponsor policies or requirements will take precedence, while other aspects of State or University policy will remain in force.

Investigators should review the terms of all awards and must comply with all terms and conditions to be certain there are no additional restrictions pertaining to a company relationship.

Obligation to Update and Provide Information

If there is a change in an individual’s status or responsibilities related to a faculty affiliated company/external entity, the financial disclosure may be required to be updated and other University areas may also need to be notified (e.g., Faculty Consulting Office). According to University policy, the research financial disclosure is required to be updated within thirty (30) days of the acquisition or discovery of any new significant financial interests.

Subawards and Subcontracts

Subaward from Faculty Affiliated Company to UConn

The University may accept research subcontracts/subawards from faculty affiliated companies (FAC) in which the FAC is the sponsor. All of the relevant requirements and policies for subcontracting to the University apply regardless of the fact that the subcontracting entity is a FAC. The University Conflict of Interest Committee(s) may place specific requirements on the investigator or others working on the project to manage, reduce or eliminate the conflict.

Subaward from UConn to a Faculty Affiliated Company

If the Principal Investigator (PI) is a faculty member who has an interest in a FAC, the University will not subcontract or issue a subaward to any FAC in which the PI has an interest.

If a Co-PI on the grant has an interest in a FAC, specific rules apply if there is a subcontract or a subaward to any FAC in which the Co-PI has an interest. As a state employee, a Co-PI may be prohibited by state ethics law from having the FAC contract with the University. There is an exception that allows a subcontract or subaward if it is intended to support a collaboration to develop and commercialize an invention or discovery. Many subcontracts and subawards may come within this exception. They are permitted, provided that the following additional requirements are also met:

the PI does not have an ownership or other interest in the FAC receiving the subcontract or subaward
the PI does not receive any financial gain from making the award
the PI has made an independent decision based on the merits to select the FAC and the decision is not based on other factors such as personal or professional relations with the Co-PI
the Co-PI did not participate in the decision to make the award to the FAC
the FAC receiving the subaward or subcontract must be qualified to do the work, and the economic and other terms must be commercially reasonable; and
the evaluation of the work product and the approval of invoices from the company must be done by the PI independently, without the participation of the Co-PI. In addition, in these situations, UConn will inform the sponsor of the potential conflict and confirm that the sponsor has no objections.

The PI cannot receive a payment from the Co-PI or the company receiving the subaward or subcontract. Nor can there be any agreement to funnel subawards or subcontracts to a company in which the PI has an interest.

As noted elsewhere, this does not address any restrictions that may be imposed by the funding source, whether a federal grant or otherwise. The application of those rules needs to be evaluated in the context of the specific situation.

Important Information from the NIH and NSF

Posted on July 17, 2019July 17, 2019 by Jessica McBride

Dear Investigator,

On July 10^th, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published a reminder on NIH Policies on Other Support and on Policies related to Financial Conflicts of Interest and Foreign Components. This was followed on July 11^th by a Dear Colleague Letter on protecting research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) from NSF Director, Dr. France Córdova. These notices relate to the ongoing concerns regarding foreign influence in federally funded research.

In response to these publications, the OVPR recommends that any collaborations with foreign entities or individuals, or appointments with foreign entities (including foreign talent or similar programs) be disclosed to the NIH or NSF program officer, your Dean, and the OVPR (contacts and additional information listed below).

The OVPR has posted additional guidance on our site regarding Active and Pending Support and Foreign Collaborations. For any questions or for guidance on this and other related matters, please contact:

Laura Kozma, Executive Director SPS (laura.kozma@uconn.edu)
Paul Hudobenko, Director SPS – UConn Health (hudobenko@uchc.edu)

Thank you for your cooperation,

Radenka Maric, PhD
Vice President for Research
UConn/UConn Health

Important Information from the NIH and NSF for UConn/UConn Health Investigators

The NSF Letter references the draft NSF Proposal and Award Policies & Procedures Guide published in May 2019. Clarifications in the draft Guide related to current and pending support and biographical sketches include:

Providing information for all current and pending support irrespective of whether such support is provided through the proposing organization or directly to the individual.
Expanding examples of current and pending support to include non-profit organizations and consulting agreements.
Reporting all projects and activities requiring a time commitment (no minimum has been established), even if the support received is only in-kind.
Appointments should include any titled academic, professional, or institutional position whether or not remuneration is received.

The Dear Colleague Letter also states the NSF will be issuing a policy that NSF personnel and Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) assigned personnel cannot participate in foreign government talent-recruitment programs.

The NIH Notice reminds applicants that in regards to Other Support, they must:

List all positions and scientific appointments, both domestic and foreign, held by senior/key personnel which are relevant to an application including affiliations with foreign entities or governments such as titled academic, professional, or institutional appointments whether or not remuneration is received, and whether full-time, part-time, or voluntary (including adjunct, visiting, or honorary).
Report all resources and other support for all individuals designated in an application as senior/key personnel – including the program director/principal investigator and other individuals who contribute to the scientific development or execution of a project in a substantive, measurable way, whether or not they request salaries or compensation. All current support for ongoing projects must be included, irrespective of whether such support is provided through the applicant organization, through another domestic or foreign organization, or is provided directly to an individual who supports the senior/key personnel’s research efforts.
Report all current projects and activities involving senior/key personnel, even if the support received is only in-kind (e.g. office/laboratory space, equipment, supplies, employees), including, but not limited to, foreign financial support, research or laboratory personnel, lab space, scientific materials, selection to a foreign “talents” or similar-type program, or other foreign or domestic support.
Provide the total award amount for the entire award period covered (including facilities and administrative costs), as well as the number of person-months (or partial person-months) per year to be devoted to the project by the senior/key personnel.

The Notice also reminds applicants of the need to determine whether projects include a foreign component, defined as the existence of any “significant scientific element or segment of a project” outside of the United States including:

Performance of work by a researcher or recipient in a foreign location, whether or not NIH grant funds are expended and/or
Performance of work by a researcher in a foreign location employed or paid for by a foreign organization, whether or not NIH grant funds are expended.

If a significant portion of a project will be conducted outside the United States, then there is a foreign component and NIH prior approval is required. If all project activity is conducted within the United States, but there is a non-U.S. resource supporting the project, it must be reported as other support.

Foreign Collaborations

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS, FOREIGN COMPONENTS, AND SPONSORED PROGRAMS

It protects everyone’s interests – those of the Federal government, UConn, individual investigators, and their international collaborators – to have international relationships disclosed and vetted to determine if there are any potential conflict of commitments, duplications of research, and/or diversion of intellectual property in the performance of federally funded research. In some cases, failure to disclose all relationships could result in the termination of funding for a project and potential ineligibility for future funding. Noncompliance can also threaten not only the funding for individual projects, but overall funding for the University. UConn encourages international collaborations and the OVPR strongly urges investigators to err on the side of transparency in disclosing these collaborations to the University and Sponsors.

MALIGN FOREIGN TALENT RECRUITMENT PROGRAMS

Beginning 8/9/2024, all federal agencies must prohibit participation in a malign foreign talent recruitment program by covered individuals involved with research and development awards from those agencies.

UPDATE 8/7/2024: UConn has established a Malign Foreign Talent Program Participation Policy, which requires that Covered Individuals listed in a proposal for a research award from a Federal Sponsor must certify as part of the proposal submission that they are not currently participating in, nor will they participate in, a Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Program.

Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs (Section 10631(b), Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors [CHIPS] and Science Act of 2022)

Section 10631(d) of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 requires federal research agencies to issue a policy on foreign talent recruitment programs, along with a policy specific to malign foreign talent recruitment programs. The Act prohibits “covered individuals” from participating in a federally funded research and development project if they are currently participating in a “malign foreign talent recruitment program.” Federal research agencies may request supporting documentation from applicants, and take a range of funding-related actions. The Act defines “covered individual” as “an individual who A. contributes in a substantive, meaningful way to the scientific development or execution of a research and development project proposed to be carried out with a research and development award from a Federal research agency; and B. is designated as a covered individual by the Federal research agency concerned.” (Agencies may define other individuals as covered persons as appropriate and consistent with their mission.

A malign foreign talent recruitment program is any type of program, position, or activity that involves one or more of the following:

Unauthorized transfer of intellectual property, materials, data or other nonpublic information;
Recruitment of trainees or researchers to enroll in such program, position or activity;
Establishing a laboratory or entity in a foreign country in violation of terms and conditions of a federal research award;
Accepting a faculty position, or undertaking any other employment or appointment in violation of the standard terms and conditions of a federal research award;
Being unable to terminate the activity except in extraordinary circumstances;
Being limited in capacity to carry out a federal research award;
Requirement to engage in work that overlaps or duplicates a federal research award;
Requirement to obtain research funding from the foreign government’s entities;
Requirement to omit acknowledgement of the U.S. home institution and/or the federal funding agency;
Requirement to not disclose participation in the program, position, or activity; OR
Having a conflict of interest or commitment contrary to a federal research award.

AND is sponsored by one of the following:

A foreign country of concern (currently defined as the People’s Republic of China including Hong Kong and Macau, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republic of Iran, or any other country determined to be a country of concern by the Secretary of State); or
An entity based in a foreign country of concern; or
An institution or program on certain prohibited lists (contact the Director of Research Integrity and Security for screening).

AGENCY-SPECIFIC GUIDANCE

National Science Foundation

Individuals who are a current party to a Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Program are not eligible to serve as a senior/key person on an NSF proposal or on any NSF award made after May 20, 2024. As of the effective date of May 20, 2024 of NSF 24-1 Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG), the Authorized Organizational Representative (typically the Pre-Award Senior Grants and Contracts Specialist) must certify that all individuals identified as senior/key personnel have been made aware of and have complie3d with their responsibility to certify that the individual is not a party to a malign foreign talent recruitment program. IN ADDITION, each identified senior/key person must certify, in signing their Biographical Sketch form via SciENcv (required), that they are not a party to a malign foreign talent recruitment program and annually thereafter for the duration of the award.

Misrepresentations and/or omissions may be subject to prosecution and liability pursuant to, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C. §§ 287, 1001, 1031 and 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733 and 3802.

National Institutes of Health

Full transparency in NIH applications and throughout the life of an NIH grant is critical. NIH requires the disclosure of all sources of research support, foreign components, and financial conflicts of interest for senior/key personnel on research applications and awards. NIH uses this information when making its funding decisions to determine if the research being proposed is receiving other sources of funding that could be duplicative, has the necessary time allocation, or if financial interests may affect objectivity in the conduct of the research.

NIH Requirements for Disclosure of Other Support, Foreign Components and Conflicts of Interest

Reminders of NIH Policies on Other Support and on Policies related to Financial Conflicts of Interest and Foreign Components (NOT-OD-19-114)

Department of Defense

Beginning August 9, 2024, the Department of Defense is prohibited from providing funding to or making an award of a fundamental research project proposal in which a covered individual is participating in a malign foreign talent recruitment program or to a proposing institution that does not have a policy addressing malign foreign talent programs pursuant to Section 10632 of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.

On March 20, 2019, DoD issued a memo directing that all new DoD Notices of Funding Opportunities pertaining to research and research-related educational activities include a requirement that proposers provide additional information on the other support and commitments of all key personnel, regardless of whether the proposal is funded.

Countering Unwanted Foreign Influence in Department-Funded Research at Institutions of Higher Education

Department of Energy

DOE Order No. O 486-1: Department of Energy Foreign Government Sponsored or Affiliated Activities prohibits DOE employees and contractors participating in foreign talent recruitment programs from certain countries from receiving DOE funding. Universities must therefore disclose whether a researcher currently involved in a DOE award has participated in either a funded or unfunded Foreign Government Talent Recruitment Program.

GOVERNMENT CONCERN

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a Notice on March 30, 2018, reminding research institutions that PIs, sub-awardees and co-PIs must disclose all financial interests received from higher education or governmental institutions in countries outside the United States (NOT-OD-18-160). NIH Director Dr. Francis S. Collins also sent a memo.pdf to institutions on Aug. 20, 2018, stating that the failure to properly disclose foreign relationships threatened to distort decision-making about the use of NIH funds.
The Department of Defense
- The National Defense Authorization Act, signed in August 2018, included Sec. 1286, which stated that “The Secretary of Defense shall, in consultation with other appropriate government organizations, establish an initiative to work with academic institutions who perform defense research and engineering activities . . . to limit undue influence, including through foreign talent programs, by countries to exploit United State Technology … ”
- Memorandum from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense dated October 10, 2019 which states that “the challenge of protecting the integrity of our research enterprise is a national priority.” The letter lays out DoD’s steps to date to “limit undue influence by countries that desire to exploit DoD research, science and technology, and innovation enterprise through foreign talent programs and other means” and steps DoD plans to pursue, and calls for a dynamic, Government wide, partnership, “ No laboratory, university, industry partner, or Government agency can address the full scope of this challenge alone, and solutions to this problem can only result from a dynamic partnership between our public and private sectors.”
- Memorandum titled “Actions for the Protection of Intellectual Property, Controlled Information, Key Personnel and Critical Technologies” dated March 20, 2019. Directing for all new DoD Notices of Funding Opportunities related to research and research-related educational activities include requirements that “proposer submit additional Current and Active support information for all key personnel, whether or not the individuals are to funded by the DoD.
The National Science Board issued a statement on “Security and Science” dated October 23, 2018, stating that US universities must “embrace transparency and rigorously adhere to conflict of interest and conflict of commitment policies.”
The National Science Foundation, issued a letter on July 11 from the NSF Director to colleagues on “Research Protection” related to other support, financial conflicts of interest and foreign components (NSF 19-200).
The Department of Energy issued a notification on February 1, 2019, stating that DOE plans to implement a policy, which will mandate that “federal and contractor personnel fully disclose and, as necessary, terminate affiliations with foreign government-supported talent recruitment programs.”
As a reminder, NASA has long-standing restrictions on using NASA funds to enter into agreements “to participate, collaborate, or coordinate bilaterally in any way with China or any Chinese-owned company, at the prime recipient level or at any subrecipient level, whether the bilateral involvement is funded or performed under a no-exchange of funds arrangement” (grant restrictions, contract restrictions.pdf).

Foreign Components

Foreign components of federally funded research should be disclosed in proposals, progress reports, and final technical reports. Under the NIH Grants Policy Statement, a Foreign Component is defined as “any significant scientific element or segment of a project outside of the United States, either by the recipient or by a researcher employed by a foreign organization, whether or not grant funds are expended”. The definition of “foreign component” (which can be found here) may include a large number of collaborative activities, including “collaborations with investigators at a foreign site anticipated to result in co-authorship; use of facilities or instrumentation at a foreign site; or receipt of financial support or resources from a foreign entity.” Other sponsors have similar requirements to disclose foreign components.

NIH Policy on Foreign Component

NIH requires recipients to determine whether activities it supports include a foreign component, defined as the existence of any “significant scientific element or segment of a project” outside of the United States, in other words:

1. performance of work by a researcher or recipient in a foreign location, whether or not NIH grant funds are expended and/or
2. performance of work by a researcher in a foreign location employed or paid for by a foreign organization, whether or not NIH grant funds are expended.

If a recipient determines that a portion of the project will be conducted outside of the U.S., the recipient then will need to determine if the activities are considered significant. If both criteria are met, then there is a foreign component. See NIH FAQs on Other Support and Foreign Components. The addition of a foreign component to an ongoing NIH grant continues to require NIH prior approval, as outlined in the NIHGPS (Section 8.1.2) Prior Approval Requirements.
If an activity does not meet the definition of foreign component because all research is being conducted within the United States, but there is a non-U.S. resource that supports the research of an investigator and/or researcher, it must be reported as other support.
For example, if a PD/PI of an NIH-funded grant has a collaborator outside of the U.S. who performs experiments in support of the PD/PI’s NIH-funded project, this would constitute a foreign component, regardless of whether the foreign collaborator receives funding from the PD/PI’s grant. Additional funding from a foreign source for the NIH-supported research of a PD/PI at a U.S. institution would not constitute a foreign component but would necessitate reporting as other support.
Foreign Other support must be disclosed to the NIH in advance by including it in the Just-in-Time Other Support submission on a new or renewal award, or updated in the annual RPPR, or submitted by letter to the awarding office and thereafter included in the RPPR.
Foreign Components applies to NIH work scope performed in a foreign location, either funded by the NIH grant or by other sources, domestic or foreign.

Also see NIH’s “Protecting U.S. Biomedical Intellectual Innovation.”

Foreign Payments

The University’s Consulting Policy requires prior approval of any remuneration, compensation, honorarium, stipends, non-university salary, or other similar payments for providing consulting, advice, services, support or other similar activities from any source, including foreign entities or persons. The University’s Financial Conflicts of Interest in Research Policy requires disclosure of remuneration, compensation, honorarium, stipends, non-university salary, or other similar payments totaling over $5,000 in a 12 month period from a single entity, and any paid or reimbursed travel totaling over $5000 in a 12 month period by a single entity. This include any foreign entity (e.g. governments and institutions) or persons.

Current and Other Support

“Other Support” includes all financial resources, domestic or foreign, available in direct support of a researcher’s research endeavors. Such support should be disclosed on an “Other Support” or “Current & Pending” form. See here for guidance.

Innovate Stamford

UConn and Innovate Stamford have partnered to provide a platform of new programs that will strengthen Stamford's position as a leader in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

In 2017, Innovate Stamford formed and was catalyzed with a $2 million grant from CTNext, a state-funded subsidiary of the quasi-public venture capital firm Connecticut Innovations. The grant designates Stamford as an “Innovation Place,” a hub for innovation, entrepreneurship and business growth. This is part of a statewide effort to build a more robust community of entrepreneurs and accelerate startup growth by providing access to talent, space, industry expertise, services, skill development, and capital.

The UConn-Innovate Stamford collaboration leverage's UConn's research infrastructure, expertise, and facilities. There are currently three phases of program development:

Summer Internships: UConn's Office of the Vice President for Research is administering the UConn-Innovate Stamford Internship Program to help connect talented students and Stamford businesses. As part of a two-month internship, 50 UConn undergrads will work with Stamford companies in a variety of areas, such as marketing, engineering, digital media, and computer science. Student interns receive a $5,000 stipend, as well as free accommodation in the UConn Stamford campus housing.
Experiential Learning with Accelerators: The second phase of the initiative will involve the establishment of accelerator teams. In this experiential learning program, students will be paired with a Stamford startup company and will delve deeper into the inner workings of such small businesses. The program will run through the academic year, and will involve attending an orientation class, spending 10-hours per week on a project outlined by the startup company, and completing corresponding assignments as a part of the experience. This program will build on the success of Accelerate UConn, an NSF I-Corps site run by the Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the School of Business.
UConn Technology Incubation Program (TIP): The third phase will include an expansion of UConn's programs in customer discovery, technology transfer, venture development, and R&D support. A key objective is to extend UConn's Technology Incubation Program through the creation of a fully-fledged physical incubator in Stamford. This will strengthen Stamford's ability to attract, support, and grow early to mid-stage companies, and will encourage entrepreneurial and corporate engagement, global outreach to new talent, and industry partnerships.

Current (Active) and Pending Support

[Last Updated 10/08/2024]

General Information/Introduction

UConn researchers should be transparent regarding their other research support, other research activities, and research collaborations when submitting grant proposals to external sponsors. Disclosure of such support, via forms commonly referred to as “Current and Pending” or “Other Support,” allows the identification of potential duplication of funding, assessment of the investigator’s capacity/available effort to complete proposed projects, the evaluation of potential conflicts of interest, and the overall protection of national security and economic interests.

While the format/form being provided to the sponsor may vary, if applicable to a proposal under development, PIs should include ALL support, including grants and contracts from all domestic and non-U.S. sources, including support internal to UConn. Additional guidance is generally available in the specific funding opportunity announcement to which the proposal is responding, and MUST be followed to avoid return without review or other negative consequences.

Federal agencies are increasingly placing additional scrutiny on potential foreign influence and its impact upon the U.S. research enterprise. Efforts at the federal level are currently underway to standardize disclosure requirements, forms, and other requirements, and some agencies have provided additional guidance on completing disclosure documents. For additional assistance, or to report changes to disclosure documents related to existing awards, please contact your department administrator or preaward@uconn.edu.
