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.

A multicenter outpatient trial of a bihormonal bionic pancreas
Good, consistent management of blood sugar levels in people with type 1 diabetes is essential to prevent or minimize health complications. Our goal is to test a wearable medical device that would automatically manage blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes in a multi-center outpatient setting. If successful, our device, which uses a smartphone to link a sensing device that automatically and frequently estimates blood sugar with two small pumps that automatically deliver insulin to lower blood sugar and glucagon to raise blood sugar, will provide good and safe management of blood sugar, and reduce the health complications that may arise with diabetes.

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.
