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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Genentech

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)

Dr. Sidiropoulos received consulting income from Genentech for her participation in and moderation of advisory boards. The advisory boards was pertaining to the role of the clinical laboratory in implementation and adoption of a tumor agnostic biomarker.

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 sub awarded to University of Vermont by the Maine Medical Center.

Dr. Sidiropoulos disclosed that it is very likely that this tumor agnostic biomarker is added to the clinical laboratory's test menu in the upcoming year in the context of the present research project. This biomarker is indeed becoming a standard of care.

To an external observer, there may be an appearance of potential bias since Dr. Sidiropoulos has an independent financial relationship with the provider of the biomarker that will be used. A management plan would protect the legitimacy of Dr. Sidiropoulos’ work.

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.
