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.

Validation of the Rev-dependent vector for targeting SIV macrophage reservoirs
HIV-1 infection causes AIDS that afflicts approximately 40 million people globally. Currently there is no cure for the disease. The proposed research is to test a new therapeutic strategy to treat HIV infection in a SIV/rhesus macaque model. This new treatment targets viral reservoirs in the brain and may lead to a solution to the disease.

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.
