EXEMPTIONS FOR FINANCIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Florida statutes do not allow a University employee to have a contractual, employment or financial relationship with a company that is doing business with the University. An Exemption for transactions or relationships pursuant to sponsored research and technology transfer may be granted upon full disclosure and approval by authorized University officials (President and the Board of Trustees Chair).
NOTE: Without an approved Exemption, you may not accept sponsored research commitments, contracts, or awards or execute an option/license agreement between UCF and your outside entity.
Once you receive approval from the Board of Trustees, the Exemption for the requested transaction(s) is valid for 5 years with required annual updates to the Monitoring Plan.
