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.

Dr. Nicholas Gilpin is the principal investigator on the above referenced grant sponsored by the NIH-NIAAA. The first specific aim of this project is to use behavioral pharmacology techniques to examine the role of carcinoembryonic antigen (CeA) corticotropin-releasing factor in stress-induced alcohol drinking and the negative effect. The second specific aim is to use molecular biology to examine the effect of stress on neuronal activation in CeA projection targets important for stress-induced alcohol drinking and the negative effect. The third specific aim is to use optogenetic techniques to examine the role of specific subsets of CeA projection neurons in stress-induced escalation of alcohol drinking and the negative effect. As required by CM-35, Dr. Gilpin disclosed that he has a potential conflict for this project due to his relationship with a company whose business interests are aligned with the aims of this grant.
Role of Neuropeptides in Stress-Induced Escalation of Alcohol Drinking
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are responsible for millions of deaths annually and cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars, and humans with PTSD are 3-5 times more likely than the general population to develop AUD. Co-morbid AUD and PTSD promote mortality and shorten life spans in humans, but little is known about the neurobiological basis for the high rate of co-morbidity between these two disorders. This proposal seeks to understand the role of amygdala neuropeptides and amygdala output pathways in mediating stress-induced alcohol drinking, with the ultimate goal of tailoring pharmacotherapeutic strategies to reduce alcohol drinking in humans with PTSD.

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.
