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.

Listed Research Project
5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in Neurodevelopment

5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) is a newly discovered modified form of cytosine that has been speculated to be an important epigenetic modification during neurodevelopment. We have developed a highly efficient and selective chemical approach to label and capture 5-hmC. Here using this approach we will determine the genome-wide spatial- and temporal-distribution of 5- hmC during neurodevelopment, and determine its potential role(s) in Rett syndrome as well as learning and memory.

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.
