Conflict of Interest and Ethical Considerations.
A conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest may occur if you are directly or indirectly involved with an organization that you have submitted an application to for evaluation. Prior to entering into any contracts for award, you must inform the Department of Economic Development and Tourism of any potential conflicts of interest or the appearance thereof. If you become aware of any potential conflict of interest, you must immediately notify the Department of Economic Development and Tourism. You may be disqualified as a beneficiary grantee if you conduct yourself in a way that could create the appearance of bias or unfair advantage, whether through direct associations, indirect associations, through recreational activities or otherwise.
