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.

Abcodia, Inc.
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
Dr. Skates is a paid consultant for Abcodia, a private company focused on developing tests for the early detection of cancer. This research project involves the development of the risk of ovarian cancer algorithm (ROCA). This technology has been licensed Abcodia through the institution. The research grant will continue Dr. Skate’s work on improving the ROCA. The above mentioned company would have an interest in IP and/or the results stemming from the research under this grant. Based on the magnitude of the financial interest and the close connection between the company's interest and the research, the institution determined that the financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the research.
Proteomic, Genomic, and Longitudinal Pathways to Ovarian Cancer Biomarker Discovery
This research may lead to a screening test for ovarian cancer with subsequent reduction in ovarian cancer mortality. Ovarian cancer is highly curable if discovered while in early stage disease when it is confined to the ovaries. A screening test may lead to fewer ovarian cancer cases being discovered in late stage disease and thus may reduce the rate at which women die of ovarian cancer.

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.
