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.

Microwave Imaging System Technologies, Inc.
Other : Intellectual property royalties received from awardee institution
Professor Paulsen is a co-founder of a company called Microwave Imaging Systems Technologies Inc. (MIST). Certain technology relating to microwave imaging developed at Dartmouth (and on which Prof. Paulsen is listed as a co-inventor) was assigned to MIST, and the company’s purpose has been to use this technology in the development of a breast cancer detection system, which will be the subject of investigation under this grant.
The Conflict of Interest Committee determined that, given Prof. Paulsen's role as Co-investigator in this project, his financial interest in MIST (equity and intellectual property as described above) could significantly and directly affect the design, conduct, and reporting of the research.
Microwave Imaging for Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Monitoring
Currently, patients undergoing breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy are underserved by conventional imaging modalities for monitoring tumor progression because of high costs and limited access. Early stage clinical results show that microwave tomography is poised to meet this need because it has demonstrated excellent correlation with treatment trajectory even at early time points when the information would be most beneficial to clinicians. This academic industrial partnership will provide an excellent platform for optimizing and refining the current technology using engineering and manufacturing practices and deploying it in a two- site clinical study for a more significant evaluation.

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.
