The platform for the University of Utah’s Business Relationship Reporting (“BRR”) financial disclosure system is upgrading January 22, 2025 to a revised system supported by the Office of the Vice President for Research (VPR). This upgraded system will have increased data security and offer enhanced functionality over time. The site will look different, but questions and training in the disclosure form remain essentially the same. All previous data will be maintained. Access to the upgraded BRR site will continue through Campus Information Services at https://BRR.utah.edu. Trainings for navigating the system will be available as requested.
A financial conflict of interest exists when an individual, or an institution, has financial interests that have the potential to influence, or bias, their responsibilities to the University.
Conflicts of interest, real or perceived, may manifest as: bias in research or academic work, improper influence over University subordinates or students, undue influence on research participants, inappropriate uses of University funds or property, and public allegations of unethical behavior. These situations can have the potential to damage the reputations and work of individuals and the University.
