Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest

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.

Targeting CCL28 as therapy for obstructive lung disease
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) form the spectrum of COLD for which there are no available curative therapies. The risk of developing asthma is greatly increased if the person has had a severe viral respiratory infection. However, we found that blocking the action of a specific inflammatory protein called CCL28 can prevent the symptoms of viral-induced COLD. We propose to search for CCL28 inhibitors using an innovative strategy that we devised to target proteins in this family. The development of a novel inhibitor of CCL28 activity will advance our understanding of airway diseases and address an unmet need for diagnosis and treatment of a public health problem.

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.
