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.

ARMGO Pharma Inc
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Marks owns equity in ARMGO Pharma Inc. and is a member of the company’s Board of Directors and chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board. In addition, ARMGO has licensed intellectual property from Columbia arising from Dr. Marks’ Columbia lab, and is engaged in drug development involving this technology. The company’s efforts may benefit from the outcome of the research under this grant, specifically work to be conducted by trainee (b)(6). In light of these factors, Columbia has determined that the outcome of this research could affect the company and Dr. Marks’ financial interests in ARMGO, and that the design, conduct, and/or reporting of this research could be affected by Dr. Marks’ interests in ARMGO.
Calcium Leak-Dependent Muscle Function Loss in Aged C elegans
According to the 2015 Census Bureau, there are 47.8 million Americans over the age of 65; sarcopenia, defined as age-related loss of muscle mass and function, is highly prevalent in this population and currently has few treatments. Damage to an important muscle protein called the Ryanodine Receptor (RyR) was found to increase as muscle ages, providing researchers with a new therapeutic option to treat muscle function loss. This application seeks to elucidate the role of RyR in the underlying cellular mechanisms of age-dependent muscle function loss and determine if drugs targeting RyR improve muscle function.

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.
