Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
Published Dec. 6, 2019
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.

Role of Tau Conformations in Vascular Contribution to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
Scientific evidence continues to support a major contribution of vascular insufficiency to the development of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, but the underlying mechanisms remains elusive. We have recently discovered a novel toxic form of tau protein, cis P-tau that mediates the development of dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury, but can be effectively blocked by cis mAb treatment. In this proposal, we have assembled a multidisciplinary team with all the requisite expertise to test our new hypothesis that similar toxic cis P-tau may connect initial vascular insults to later development of dementia, which would offer a novel early disease mechanism and a promising new therapeutic approach.

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.
