The Outside Interest module in ROAMWyo seeks information in three specific categories – Conflict of Interest, Conflict of Commitment, and Foreign Affiliations and Collaborations. It’s possible to have a combination of any of the three.

  • Conflict of Interest: A conflict of interest exists when an Employee has an interest that affects or provides an incentive to affect the Employee’s conduct of her or his university activities.
  • Conflict of Commitment: A conflict of commitment exists when an Employee renders professional service or engages in an external activity that is not part of his/her duties to the university that interferes with the Employee’s ability to perform their obligations to the university.
  • Foreign Affiliations and Collaborations. Foreign Affiliations and Collaborations include any financial interest, whether on-duty or not, received from or relationships with any foreign entity, including foreign institutions of higher education, foreign research institutions, foreign teaching hospitals or medical centers, foreign governments, or private foreign entities.
