For PhD researchers consulting with Industry, will the consulting approval processes apply, or is this only applicable to physicians making clinical decisions?
The consulting approval process applies to all faculty in the Schools of the Health Sciences. In case of SOHS faculty members, who are not also UPMC employees, the proposed agreement should be submitted to their department chairs, deans, or administrators for approval. In addition, prior review and written approval from the faculty member’s dean is required if consulting relationships with any one company (including the parent and subsidiary companies) will pay the faculty member in excess of $10,000 in any one 12-month period. The same Guidelines for Contracting With Outside Industry should be used to evaluate these proposed consulting relationships, and any questions regarding specific issues may be referred to the Office of General Counsel at the University.
