Filing Type

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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Stratus Biosciences

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

Stratus Biosciences is privately held non-for-profit entity that provides services related to the storage, management, sharing, and processing of mass spectrometry data through their product Chorus. The research within this project aims to discover and validate novel targets for promoting healthy brain aging and resilience to Alzheimer's disease. The data will be made widely available and accessible to the scientific community through the Chorus project.

Listed Research Project
Systems Genetics Analysis of Resilience to Alzheimer’s disease

PROJECT NARRATIVE/RELEVANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH Although we know of many gene mutations that cause Alzheimer's Disease, some people that carry these mutations are somehow resistant to the mental decline caused by this devastating condition. If we understand more about the genes and biological mechanisms that allow these individuals to be resistant to Alzheimer's Disease, we should be able to develop new cures and preventions that take advantage of this knowledge. Because it is very difficult to find the genes and mechanisms behind resistance to Alzheimer's Disease in humans, we will employ a strategy that uses sophisticated computational and statistical methods to merge knowledge from our mouse experiments with human data; this strategy will vastly improve our ability to find candidate Alzheimer's resistance genes and mechanisms in humans.

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.
