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.

Liposcience, Inc.
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
Dr. Hazen developed technology that relates to this grant and includes the use of assays for specific gut flora metabolites as potential diagnostic tests for the prediction of cardiovascular risks. The patent application for this technology is titled “Trimethylamine compounds as risk predictors of cardiovascular disease.” Cleveland Clinic and Liposcience, Inc. entered into a license agreement for this technology. The license agreement provides for the receipt of commercialization revenues by Cleveland Clinic. As an inventor, Dr. Hazen is entitled to a portion of the commercialization revenues Cleveland Clinic receives. Therefore, the Cleveland Clinic Innovation Management and Conflict of Interest Program determined that the significant financial interests in the company could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of the research.
Gut Flora Metabolism of Dietary Phosphatidylcholine and CVD
The proposed studies will unambiguously show that gut flora participate in development of atherosclerosis and a pro-thrombotic phenotype in vivo. The studies will also help develop new diagnostic tests for heart disease risk prediction and evaluate both dietary and pharmacologic targeting of microbial TMA/TMAO production for the treatment and prevention of CVD.

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.
