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.

Micron Biomedical
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
The COI Committee reviewed Dr. Prausnitz's interest in the Microneedle technology being studied, his equity interest Micron Biomedical, and his role in the non-clinical aspects of the above described research project. The COI Committee determined that he has a Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) on this project because he holds equity in a company that will license the technologies being studied. His financial interest in the technologies being studied and in Micron could bias or appear to bias the design, conduct, or reporting of this research.
Influenza vaccination using a microneedle patch
Despite annual influenza vaccination campaigns, CDC attributes 36,000 deaths and 226,000 hospitalizations per year in the US to influenza, with an associated cost of ~$100 billion per year. As a quantum advance, this project will develop a novel microneedle patch designed to increase vaccination coverage by enabling simple, self-vaccination and increase vaccine immunogenicity by targeting antigen delivery to skin. The proposed Phase I clinical trial will provide the first human study of this technology.

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.
