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.

Aetion, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Schneeweiss, a co-founder of Aetion, Inc., owns equity in the private company and receives income from the company for consulting services. The company develops a data analytics platform for evidence based health care decision-making. The company’s platform may be used to analyze electronic health records (EHR) data and to conduct comparative effectiveness analysis. The research project seeks to provide a solution for bias in comparative effectiveness research that results when EHR data does not comprehensively capture medical encounters across the care continuum. The research project will use Aetion software for some of the data analysis. The results of this study could therefore be of interest to the company.
Improving comparative effectiveness research through electronic health records continuity cohorts
Narrative: (2-3 sentences) Large electronic health records databases are commonly used to assess the safety and effectiveness of drugs, but missing data outside of a single EHR system has been a pervasive source of bias in such studies in the US. Our research will produce generalizable algorithms to identify high-validity continuity cohorts in a given EHR system that will allow researchers to leverage the rich clinical data in absence of linked claims data. This approach will systematically improve research validity based on data from the prevailing EHR-based research networks.

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.
