Disclosure requirements:
- Faculty and Specialists in Cooperative Extension (CE) must obtain prior approval for all **Category I activities, Student Involvement, and **Requests to Exceed Thresholds. We strongly encourage submitting prior approval requests as soon as faculty become aware of the potential engagement. Delays with review and approval may occur if details, required consultation(s), and required documents are missing. Full and complete requests should route routinely with less chance of delays when all involved in the review and approval process engage as timely as possible. However, complex requests may take six weeks or longer. **Note: The final decision rests with the Provost.
- Faculty and Specialists in CE must disclose all OPA in UC OATS as well as address potential conflicts of interest (COI) or intellectual property (IP) issues with the appropriate offices.
- Category I and II OPA, whether compensated or uncompensated, must be disclosed in UC OATS every year.
- Faculty and Specialists in CE who did not engage in OPA must still submit an Annual Certification Report in UC OATS.
