Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
Published Dec. 6, 2019
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.

Development of a Modular Soft Exosuit Platform Suitable for Community-Based Neurorehabilitation
Project Narrative Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. However, despite extensive rehabilitation efforts, marked physical inactivity remains emblematic of individuals in the chronic phase of stroke recovery and contributes to poor health and quality of life. For poststroke rehabilitation to be better positioned to enable more physical activity, factors such as insufficient training dosage and poor ecological validity, which limit the effectiveness of clinic-based gait training, must be overcome. In response to this need, we are developing a modular exosuit platform that can assist any combination of the paretic ankle, knee, and hip to increase an individual's walking capacity in the clinic or community through the unique use of force-transmitting, conformal textiles that anchor to the body, proximally-mounted cable-based actuation systems, wearable sensors, and adaptive control algorithms.

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.
