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.

Avedro, Inc.
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution
CWRU’s COI Committee deemed this relationship as a conflict of interest due to an active option through Cleveland Clinic to Avedro to further develop technology invented by Dr. Rollins related to optical computerized tomography used in this project. This project aims to further develop and enhance said technology, thus Dr. Rollins stands to benefit monetarily should any advancements result that impact the potential/future commercialization of this technology.
Corneal Elastography and Patient-Specific Modeling for Simulation-based Therapy
This research program addresses core challenges in the development and integration of tools for simulation-based surgical planning. Major clinical targets of the proposal include keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia, corneal diseases in which visual function and emerging treatments all depend explicitly on corneal structural properties. Projected outcomes of the work include development of noninvasive methods for biomechanical property mapping and integration of such measurements into patient-specific computational models that can be used to project disease risk and facilitate rational customization of treatment.

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.
