What is a "related" outside activity?

An outside activity is considered "related" to your institutional role/responsibilities when:

• The outside activity relies on or utilizes your area of expertise, scholarship, employment;  
• The outside activity has the potential to influence your U-M duties/responsibilities (research, teaching, clinical, or public service); or  
• The external entity associated with your outside activity does business with U-M (e.g., sponsors research, vendor).
