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.

Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
The research proposes to develop a specific single molecule assay (simona) to measure post-translationally modified proteins as a biomarker panel for Parkinson's Disease. The company develops and markets the ultra-sensitive digital immunoassay platform. The development of a simoa assay blood test for PD could lead to additional sales of equipment and supplies to run the assay.
Detection of Post-Translationally Modified Proteins as a Biomarker Panel for Parkinson's Disease
This project is focused on creating a simple blood test for the detection of Parkinson's disease. Our methodology involves detecting modified proteins relevant to the development of Parkinson's using a novel, ultra-sensitive protein detection technology.

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.
