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.

Pierian Dx
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
Pierian Dx provides the most complete clinical genomics cloud-based software that simplifies the process of translating complex genomic data into actionable clinical insights. It developed and maintains the CGW system, a post-analytic system to process and report NGS data.
Dr. Sidiropoulos received income from Pierian Dx as consulting fees. The consulting consisted of white paper draft review, webinar implementation/presentation, and advising for business strategy.
The purpose of the Research Project is to develop and sustain a clinical and translational research infrastructure that supports improvement in rural and community health for inhabitants in the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. It is a NIH grant which is subawarded to University of Vermont by the Maine Medical Center.
Dr. Sidiropoulos disclosed that she uses the CGW product provided by Pierian Dx in her clinical lab, and in particular on this grant. To an external observer, there may be an appearance of potential bias since Dr. Sidiropoulos has an independent financial relationship with the software provider. A management plan would protect the legitimacy of Dr. Sidiropoulos’ work.

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.
