Conflict of Interest

The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

Dr. Paul Kenny (the Principal Investigator on this study, Ward-Coleman Professor and Chair of the Dorothy H. and Lewis Rosenstiel Department of Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics) is a co-founder and equity holder in Eolas Therapeutics, a privately held company that is working to develop compounds to treat nicotine and cocaine addiction.

Listed Research Project
Defining the Role of D1 and D2 Medium Spiny Neurons in Relapse to Cocaine Seeking

Project Narrative Drug abuse and addiction are syndromes that severely damage the lives of affected patients and their families, and constitute a major public health concern in the United States. Cocaine addiction is characterized by cycles of drug binges followed by abstinence and subsequent relapse; thus, pharmacological interventions that reduce cocaine craving and drug seeking during the abstinence period are ideal for preventing relapse. By studying cocaine self-administration, a paradigm that models chronic cocaine abuse in humans, we will be able to determine the neurochemical consequences of cocaine abuse and withdrawal in an attempt to develop novel pharmacotherapies to combat cocaine addiction and improve treatment outcomes in cocaine addicts.

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.
