Duke University is committed to ensuring its faculty an open and
productive environment in which to conduct teaching, patient care, and
research. The university's concern with conflict of interest reflects
the ever-increasing complexity of our society, our various relations
with each other and with outside institutions, along with the
heightened national and governmental sensitivity to such matters.
Duke's full COI policy is located in the Faculty Handbook, Appendix O, with related policies listed in Chapter 5, and Appendix P.
