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.

Ikea
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
Dr. Allison serves on Ikea's Scientific Advisory Board and comments on nutrition and nutrition research as new topics emerge. This award is looking to teach new researchers ways to identify factors causing obesity and methods which cause reductions in obesity. Since nutrition is closely tied to obesity the role Dr. Allison plays on Ikea's scientific advisory board relates to the topics being taught to new researchers as part of this award.
Strengthening Causal Inference in Behavioral Obesity Research
Obesity affects over one-third of the US population generating a vital need for novel interdisciplinary strategies to identify factors causing (not merely correlating with) obesity and methods which cause reductions in obesity. A burgeoning array of research techniques exists to help scientists make more informed conclusions about causal effects, but many obesity researchers are unfamiliar with these techniques. The proposed course will train scientists in understanding and using such techniques, who in turn will be better positioned to help identify ways of reducing the burden of obesity.

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.
