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 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
The SFIs of the investigator are related to the funded research since the technology being used in the project has been licensed to the company with which the investigator has multiple relationships. The Institution has determined that since the technology could be further validated as a result of the research, these financial interests could conflict with project.
Quantitative Ultrasound Analysis of Vascular Morphology for Cancer Assessment
Ultrasound is a relatively safe, low cost, portable, real-time imaging device; however its images are relatively poor for detecting and diagnosing tumors. We propose that ultrasound can be extended to tumor assessment via a commercial system that combines new micro-bubble contrast agents that enhance the appearance of vessels within ultrasound images, with an ultrasound imaging probe that we developed for capturing contrast- enhanced ultrasound images, and with novel vascular image analysis algorithms that we have also developed. In Phase I we showed that our system is viable. In the proposed Phase II work, we will conduct the research and development needed to commercialize that system for assessing tumor malignancy and response to treatment in support of preclinical trials of experimental cancer therapies.

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.
