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.

Cadherin 11 Regulates Synovial Inflammation in Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis causes pain and swelling in the joints and attacks and damages the joint structures. We are determining what regulates the underlying inflammation in the joint. Working out the mechanisms that cause inflammation helps to explain what goes wrong in rheumatoid arthritis. We have found that special cells (called fibroblasts) form the structure of the membrane that lines joints, known as the synovium. These special cells form a bed (called the stroma) to which all the inflammatory white blood cells attach. By targeting these cells, we disrupt the comfortable bed that the inflammatory cells need to produce inflammation. The cells that make up the bed and the markers we have found they express offer new targets for treating inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis

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.
