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.

Exosome-based therapeutics for heart failure
PROJECT NARRATIVE Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), which are effective in various models of heart failure, work via the secretion of exosomes. Here we propose to develop trenchant methods to assess exosome biodistribution, to enhance exosome targeting and potency, and to immortalize CDCs as a stable source of therapeutic exosomes. The studies will advance our mechanistic understanding of exosome biology, while constituting an important translational step towards the development of exosomes as off-the-shelf cell-free agents to treat heart failure.

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.
