Graduate students are reminded of the campus’s annual conflicts of interest reporting period, via the Disclosure of External Professional Activities (DEPA) reporting form. Emails about this important requirement were sent from the provost and vice chancellor for research to all graduate students—please check your emails.

Specific groups include but are not limited to all PRAs, research associates and research assistants (all levels), instructors (all levels), librarians, museum associates and fellows; also, non-employee graduate students if they are currently involved in the design, conduct or reporting of any research (including their own) or if they are involved in any CU employee’s affiliated company/foundation, etc. (compensated or not).

The following groups typically do not need to report: TAs, lecturers, professional exempts. However, university personnel involved in the design, conduct and reporting of research do need to submit a DEPA, regardless of job type. Email coi@colorado.edu with questions.
