| * Note that co-investigators on the same grant are not considered to be in conflict *unless* they are both collaborators. There are a large number of multi-PI grants in the US and Europe that fund many roboticists who do not otherwise interact. Disallowing reviewers or area chairs from reviewing or managing papers from co-investigators on a 40- or 50-PI grant would lead to unmanageable conflict of interest situations. | |

| * Note that CMT prevents a reviewer from being assigned to a paper if they have a conflict with the same institution as an author on the paper. This is clearly incorrect. I (Nick Roy) have close collaboration with faculty at CMU in the last 3 years. According to the CMT instructions, I should list cmu.edu as a conflict domain. However, imagine that Frank Dellaert, who also has close collaboration with faculty at CMU, also lists cmu.edu. Because the conflicts lack any directionality, CMT will then conclude that Frank and I are in conflict, even though we do not meet any of the conditions above. | * Note that CMT prevents a reviewer from being assigned to a paper if they have a conflict with the same institution as an author on the paper.
