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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

SK Analytics

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

Dr. Shaman is a founder of, and holds equity in, a consulting company called SK Analytics that provides consulting services relating to influenza and other forecasting models. This award does not involve direct evaluation of company technology or other intellectual property. However, results from the project could be of interest to the company and subject to future licensing. In light of these facts, Columbia found Dr. Shaman’s significant financial interest in SK Analytics could affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the research.

Listed Research Project
Disease Persistence and Population Dynamics: Modeling Measles under Mass Vaccination

Project Narrative Despite widespread vaccination, measles remains a leading cause of child mortality globally; in addition, it has been re-emerging in previously measles-free regions (e.g., the recent case increases in the US and re- establishment of endemic transmission in the UK and Venezuela in South America). By studying mechanisms governing the spread of measles in the modern, mass vaccination era, the proposed work will improve understanding of the persistence of measles transmission and aid development of improved interventions to eliminate measles worldwide.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

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.
