This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Madison Surgical Designs, LLC
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
City of Hope's Conflict of Interest and Commitment Committee (COICC) determined that this SFI relates to this research project, and presents a potential financial conflict of interest, because the scope of the project will include research on intellectual property held by Madison Surgical Designs.
Novel Cell Delivery Method for Brain Tumor Therapy
We propose to develop a novel, neurosurgical instrument that is minimally invasive and can rapidly and safely remove brain tumor tissue. Novel anti-cancer treatments can then be delivered into the cavity, where they can interact directly with the tumor. Successful development of this instrument will directly impact public health by providing alternative therapies for malignant tumors and potentially, blood clots in the brain.

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.
