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.

Tunneling microfiber electrode arrays for stable neural recording
Intracranial multielectrode arrays are essential for basic research in neuroscience and they also can be used to create a direct connection between human brains and prosthetic devices. However, existing multielectrode arrays damage nearby brain tissue, induce local immune rejection, and fail to record neural signals stably. This projec develops a new technology for neural recording based on dense bundles of ultra-small fibers that can be discretely inserted into the brain. In this design, minimal damage of brain tissue leads to more stable recordings from neurons in the living 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.
