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.

The SFI is related in that its value could be affected by the research. Upon review by the Institution, it was determined that Dr. Moghekar's SFI could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of his research under this award.
Partial Volume Correction Methods to Improve Quantitation and Interpretation of Amyloid & Tau PET Imaging in Aging and Dementia
Narrative This application is focused on corrections for the partial volume effect, in which there is underrepresentation of actual radioactivity due to the finite spatial resolution of the PET imaging instruments, as well as contamination of tissue regions of interest by adjacent tissue with different concentrations. We will examine a new method of partial volume correction that models the correct images while controlling for noise and amplification, which is a common problem of existing partial volume correction methods and compare this against the GTM often considered a gold standard method, which was developed by one of our joint PIs, Olivier Rousset. We will employ a number of large, well characterized PET data sets consisting of normal aging and Alzheimer?s.

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.
