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.

Health Fidelity
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
Health Fidelity has licensed the MedLEE natural language processing (NLP) system from Columbia. Data analysis under this research will include gathering of narrative records via the MedLEE system; the success of this analysis may impact the value of this NLP system, which may be of benefit to the company. In light of these facts, the Institution has made a provisional determination that Dr. Friedman’s significant financial interest could conflict with the research. Review of potential FCOI issues is ongoing.
Pharmacovigilance Methods: Leveraging Heterogeneous Adverse Drug Reaction Data
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a major burden for patients and health care, causing preventable hospitalizations and deaths, and incurring huge costs, and, therefore, continuous post-marketing surveillance is crucial for patient safety. This proposal aims to improve patient safety and reduce health care costs by developing effective methods to discover new adverse drug reactions through the combination of information in the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System, the literature, and comprehensive clinical data from electronic health records of two different sites with diverse populations, thereby overcoming limitations that rely mainly on use of one data source.

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.
