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.

Comparison of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 treatment outcomes with a portable LMIC-adapted thermal ablation device vs. gas-based cryotherapy
Project Narrative Many countries have recently enacted cervical cancer screening programs, but even the most effective screening program will fail if treatment options are not widely accessible, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We innovated the original thermoablator, an existing cervical precancer treatment device with a heated probe for use on a wider scale by customizing the device for LMICs. Our LMIC-adapted thermoablator prototype is portable and handheld, resilient under extreme conditions, compatible with unstable electrical systems, can run for a week with a rechargeable external battery, is capable of operation off a car battery when other power sources are not available, and will be further enhanced with a self-sterilization option, a rugged carrying case, and a user manual for midwives and nurses. Successful deployment of this innovative adapted thermoablator will result in a paradigm shift in how treatment of cervical precancer, defined as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 and higher (CIN2+), is delivered in LMICs.

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.
