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.

Oxford Nanopore Technologies
Other : Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties) from awardee institution
The SFI that results from the intellectual property rights licensed to a privately held entity are related in that their value could be affected by the research. Upon review by the institution, it was determined that Dr. Timp's SFI could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of his research under this award.
Nanopore based profiling of epigenetic state
Project Narrative: Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in phenotype through a mechanism other than the direct genetic sequence. Sequencing of epigenetic marks is logistically difficult and limited with current 2nd generation technologies: only short-range interactions are studied, extensive chemical or enzymatic treatments are needed, and epigenetic heterogeneity is hard to probe. This proposal seeks to apply nanopore-based sequencing to characterization of the epigenetic state of the human genome via measurement of modifications to the DNA sequence.

Tell us what you know about Winston Timp's disclosure
We're still reporting about conflicts of interest. Is there something you'd like to tell us about this disclosure?
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.
