Filing Type

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

Square2Systems Inc.

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

Prof. Marsch is Co-Owner of Square2Systems Inc., a company that has developed and licensed a self-regulation monitoring and intervention mobile platform that enables real time assessment of mechanisms of self-regulatory function and health behavior, and self-regulation interventions for a variety of populations. This platform, Square 2®, will be a key resource for the proposed work. It offers science based self-regulation monitoring and behavior change tools to a wide array of populations. Square 2® will be employed in connection with the research to be performed under this grant, and Square2Systems Inc. is acting as a vendor in connection with this work. Square 2® is available as a sole source only through this vendor.

The Conflict of Interest Committee determined that, given Prof. Marsch’s role as Principal Investigator of this project, her financial interest in Square2Systems Inc. could appear to significantly and directly affect the design, conduct, and reporting of the research.

Listed Research Project
Applying novel technologies and methods to inform the ontology of self-regulation

Because the need to alter health-related behavior is ubiquitous across medicine, understanding the extent to which the principles of effective health behavior change (and the mechanisms by which they work) are similar or differ across health conditions and settings is a critically important area of scientific inquiry -- and may inform more efficient, cost-effective, and patient-centered care. This line of research may allow us to make great strides in crafting 'precision medicine' approaches for a wide array of populations.

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.
