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.

Role of slow waves and sleep apnea in memory and risk for Alzheimer disease

Project Narrative Alzheimer disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease and its current lack of effective treatment makes determining factors that may modify the disease course of paramount importance. Sleep disruption is one such factor, and obstructive sleep apnea represents the most common clinical form of sleep disruption, affecting up to 20% of the population. The current proposal addresses the role of stage-specific sleep disruption and mechanisms of obstructive sleep apnea's effect on memory and risk for Alzheimer 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.
