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.

The results of this research could promote interest in the videos and services provided by the foundation.

PROVEN: PRagmatic trial Of Video Education in Nursing homes
NHs serve the most frail and vulnerable patients. Interventions to deliver more patient-focused, cost-effective care in this setting are needed. Better advanced care planning offers an opportunity to improve NH care. Video decision support is a practical and innovative approach to uniformly provide advanced care planning. This work has the potential to improve the care provided to millions of older Americans in NHs and enable future pragmatic trials in this setting.

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.
