Texas Southmost College (TSC)

Listed Reason

I submitted intent to serve as an evaluator for an NSF grant. Upon the receipt of the 21st Century grant (TSC), TSC would like to sign a contract with me.

Additional Comments

I have not yet signed anything with TSC regarding serving as an evaluator for this grant so I have not started working with them yet. However, I believe the grant has started on October 1, 2018. none The activity (of evaluating the project of 21st century skills for TSC's schools) does not appear to create any conflict of interest. The activity (of evaluating the project of 21st century skills for TSC's schools) does not appear to create any conflict of commitment. I was trained and am familiar wtih evaluating projects and programs. I do not intend to use any of my UTRGV regular work time to evaluate the project and therefore there's no conflict of commitment observed.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
