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.

Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Caravan owns private equity in the above mentioned interest that is specialized in developing a new MRI contrast that is manganese based, an alternative to MRI contrasts that contain Gadolinium. This grant will use and develop a new MRI technology that can prepare MRI probes in the contrast for imaging specific organs. The above mentioned company could have an interest in IP resulting from research under this grant. Based on the magnitude of this financial interest and the close connection between the company's interests and the research, the financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the research.
Stable, High Relaxivity MRI Contrast Agents
This project involves developing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging probe technology. We will produce MR probes that may be safer than existing probes, provide greater MR signal and which are better suited to take advantage of advances in MR hardware. The technology that we are developing can be readily used by others to prepare new imaging probes for imaging specific organs or diseases.

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.
