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.

Listed Research Project
Biomaterial Inhibitor of HIF-1 for Prolonged Anti-Angiogenesis in Eye

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss people over 60 years of age. The main cause of severe vision loss is subretinal neovascularization, and although intraocular injections of vascular endothelial growth factor-binding proteins provide benefit, frequent injections are needed due to limited duration of effect. We seek to develop a new longer-lasting therapy for neovascular AMD that not only controls angiogenesis, but also causes unwanted new blood vessels to regress, potentially leading to improved efficacy and safety.

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.
