Faculty members are state employees; this means your participation in outside consulting activity is tightly regulated by state statute. Prior approval through the online request system is required before beginning any activity. All paid activities related to your professional expertise (including grant reviews, talks, and similar academic activities), and unpaid work with faculty affiliated companies, fall within the faculty consulting policy. Consulting is work that you are doing outside of your role as a state employee; further information is provided in other sections of this website on limitations related to consulting activity.

We are here to help you understand the process and policies; it is your responsibility to adhere to these. Individual advice is always available. Please see the contact details for UConn (Storrs/regionals) and UConn Health if you need individual assistance. If you have submitted a request and you have limited time before the activity will begin, please reach out for help.

This website is provided to try and give information relevant to most situations. If you are looking for how to get started with your first request, please see the “Getting Started: Introduction” page. Under the “Activities” section you will find guidelines related to many common consulting activities.
