On June 28, 2022, Vice Chancellor for Research and Creative Activities Roger M. Wakimoto announced the interim UCLA Policy 927: Conflicts of Interest in Department of Energy Funded Projects. The Department of Energy (DOE) Interim Policy establishes standards that provide a reasonable expectation that the purpose, design, conduct, or reporting of projects, funded under DOE financial assistance awards, will be free from bias resulting from financial conflicts of interest or organizational conflicts of interest.
Interim Policy 927 is intended to provide direction to the campus until a final UCLA policy is approved.
