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.

Grail, Inc.
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution
Dr. Bielas is an inventor of certain deep sequencing technology that has been licensed by the Institution to Grail. This project might identify the utility of specific mutational signatures for use in cancer screening. As a result, the value of the licensed technology could be impacted. This in turn could impact his ownership and intellectual property interests in Grail.
Ultrasensitive measure of human mutagenesis: Connecting the exposome to disease
NARRATIVE Successful completion of the proposed Aims would provide new insights into human genetic variation, and highlight the potential utility of monitoring mutation induction as a biomarker of mutagenic environmental exposure in humans. This would allow for the early identification of individuals at risk of developing cancer, and would provide a basis for direct medical intervention, lifestyle changes, and/or application of chemopreventive measures, which will ultimately save lives.

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.
