interest or organizational conflicts of interest.$B!I(B The new DOE policy closely mirrors the COI requirements that have been in place for recipients of Public Health Service (PHS) funding. The University of California revised the Disclosure of Financial Interests

<a href="https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/2500558/PHS_COI">https://policy.ucop.edu/doc/2500558/PHS_COI</a>. The policy was revised to include the Department of Energy requirements.<o:p></o:p></p>

to carry out part of a DOE award (subrecipient), regardless of whether the Investigator receives compensation from the DOE funding. Investigators may include collaborators, consultants, non-UCR personnel, postdoctoral fellows and students depending on their
responsibilities for the funded research. <b>For example, reporting includes authorship on publications resulting from the research; thus, graduate and undergraduate students may be required to disclose as Investigators.</b>
