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.

Next generation electrical impedance myography: the virtual muscle biopsy
A tool to non-invasively assess the microscopic state of muscle would add greatly to our ability to find new, effective treatments for a variety of neuromuscular conditions, ranging from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to muscular dystrophy. One approach would be the application of electrical impedance-based methods at a wide range of frequencies in conjunction with advanced analytical techniques. By studying a variety of diseased mouse models, we will develop a non-invasive, painless method for identifying the pathological characteristics of tissue that can be used by clinicians and researchers in the management of a wide range of disorders affecting nerve and muscle.

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.
