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.

The aim of this project is to generate preliminary data and collect samples which will be foundational to test highly sensitive and polymorphism-specific chimerism assays on post-transplant leukemia patient samples. Chimerocyte has an interest in this assay technology and will be supporting further studies. The value of Dr. Nelson’s equity and intellectual property interests in Chimerocyte could potentially be impacted by the outcome of this research.

Cancer Center Support Grant

There were an estimated 1.6 million new cases of cancer in the United States in 2013, and an estimated 580,000 deaths from the disease. Cancer is the second leading cause of the death in the U.S. The goal of the Fred Hutchinson/University of Washington Cancer Consortium is the elimination of cancer through more effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, deriving from fundamental insights into the biology of the disease.

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.
