The term conflict of interest I was vaguely familiar with before this discussion. I had an idea of what it meant but I was not sure how it applied to research. This showed me how there is a lot to think about before beginning a research project, that it may not be a simple decision. While it may appear to be exactly what you are looking for you have to keep in mind your: personal, intellectual, financial, and professional interests to decide if this is truly the best opportunity.
