| Research Gifts: Financial Disclosure, Conflict of Interest, and Compliance | |||
| Gifts
are awards given with few or no conditions specified. Gifts may be provided
to establish an endowment or to provide direct support for existing programs.
Frequently, gifts are used to support developing programs for which other
funding is not available. The unique flexibility, or lack of restrictions,
makes gifts attractive sources of support. Gifts are administered by University Relations.
State of California law requires disclosure of financial interest in the sponsor if the proposal is for a research project to be funded by a non-governmental source. UC Berkeley policy requires that individuals receiving research gifts must comply with all protocol regulations for human subjects, animal subjects, and radioactive materials, biohazards, and other hazardous materials. The disclosure form (Statement of Economic Interests for Principal Investigators Form 700-U) and the compliance information form should accompany all research gift processing paperwork. UC Policy
