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.

Examination of the Final Stages of Platelet Production

PROJECT NARRATIVE - Examination of the Final Stages of Platelet Production Relevance to public health. Platelets are essential to control bleeding and platelet transfusions are widely used to treat patients with inherited or acquired thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) resulting from immune thrombocytopenic purpura, myelodysplastic syndromes, aplastic anemia, complications during pregnancy and birth, human immunodeficiency virus infection, chemotherapy and surgery. Although more than 10 million platelet units are transfused yearly in the United States, the limited availability of donor platelets owing to their 5-day shelf life, potential to induce an immune response and risk of bacterial contamination is of serious clinical concern. A better understanding of the mechanisms of platelet formation will lead to improved therapies for thrombocytopenia and an alternative source of platelets for infusion.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

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.
