DOE Financial Disclosure Policies
Overview
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a final rule relating to its COI policy on July 16th, 2026. The DOE COI Policy applies to all DOE-funded financial assistance awards (e.g., a grant, cooperative agreement, or technology investment agreement) issued on, or after, August 17, 2026 with the exception of those from the DOE Office of Indian Energy. As a recipient of DOE-funded financial assistance awards, the University of California and its covered individuals must comply with this new policy.
