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.

Beacon Genomics
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Joung is a co-founder of Beacon Genomics. Beacon Genomics is developing technologies to optimize the safety of genome editing therapies by identifying potential off-target editing events. This project involves the use and development of genome editing technology and the research results from this project could be of interest to the company. Therefore, the institution determined that based on the close connection between the interests of the company and this research, the financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the research.
Functional Effects of Ovarian Cancer Risk Variants
Project Narrative for Lay Audience Genetic studies have founds hundreds of common genetic variations in the population that affect a person's risk of a multitude of different diseases including cancer, for most of these variants, we neither know the functional reasons why they cause disease, nor the genes that are the biological targets. In this proposal, we plan to use a combination of functional assays, genetic information and computational methods to work out the function of known genetic variants that influence ovarian cancer risk. We anticipate that these approaches and the methods we use can work out the function of genetic variants and genes that cause disease, leading to clinical benefits to individuals in the population. �

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.
