Conflict Review Committee
Conflict Review Committee Heading link
The Conflict Review Committee (CRC) advises the Vice Chancellor for Research on matters regarding conflict of interest or conflict of commitment. The CRC evaluates all formal conflict management plans before they go to the Vice Chancellor for final approval and non-compliance. University policy requires that the committee be composed of at least three academic staff members. UIC’s CRC is made up of 11 faculty and academic staff, each serving a 3-year term. CRC members reflect UIC’s diverse disciplines, colleges, interests, and experiences. The current CRC chair is Dr. Janet Lin, Professor, Department Emergency Medicine, College of Medicine.
Typically, the committee meets once every six weeks throughout the year and sets its meeting dates annually. Materials to be reviewed by the CRC are due two weeks in advance. Due dates are listed on the meeting schedule.
