| (a) A member of the advisory board who is or has been
employed by, is or has been a party to a contract for any purpose
with, or is a student or former student of an applicant eligible institution
may not be involved in the review, evaluation, or recommendation of
a grant proposal made by that institution. In addition, a member of
the advisory may not be involved in the review, evaluation, or recommendation
of a grant proposal if there is any other actual or potential conflict
of interest.
(b) A member of the advisory board shall immediately
notify the OOG of any actual or potential conflict of interest. The
OOG will determine whether the conflict of interest warrants the exclusion
of the member's involvement in all or part of the review, evaluation,
or recommendation of a grant application. Regardless of the OOG's
determination, a member is free to voluntarily recuse from involvement
in any grant application.
