Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Other : Intellectual property rights

The SFI that results from the intellectual property rights is related in that its value could be affected by the research. The SFI that results from the equity interest in a non-publicly traded entity is related in that its value could be affected by the research. The SFI that results from the fiduciary role is related in that it is in an entity whose financial interest could be affected by the research. Upon review by the institution, it was determined that Dr. Della Santina’s SFIs could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of his research under this award.

Listed Research Project
Physiology of Vestibular Compensation

After complete loss of vestibular (inner ear balance) sensation on one or both sides, most patients ultimately recover enough to do well, but some fail to compensate and remain disabled by chronic imbalance and inability to see clearly while moving. This research project will define neural mechanisms that underlie how the brain compensates after vestibular injury and advance development of an implantable bionic inner ear device that can replace lost vestibular sensation.

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.
