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.

Leuchemix
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Leuchemix is a non-publicly traded entity that has a license to the patent rights for dimethylaminoparthenolide ("DMAPT"), a nuclear factor kappa B inhibitor. Dr. Sweeney is a founder and equity holder of Leuchemix, and is an Investigator on a project of this SPORE grant. The project involves preclinical use of DMAPT both as a single agent and in combination with abiraterone in mice. The outcome of this research has the potential to directly and significantly affect the value of DMAPT, and subsequently Dr. Sweeney's equity interest in Leuchemix as the exclusive licensor of DMAPT.
DF/HCC SPORE in Prostate Cancer
This SPORE is focused on several important themes in prostate cancer: 1) the identification of lethal prostate cancer using genetic and genomic approaches and 2) understanding the role of metabolism on the development of lethal prostate cancer, and understanding the mechanism of primary and secondary resistance to hormonal therapy and finally elucidating new targets for therapy in men with advanced disease.

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.
