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.

Dr. Mehta is an inventor on intellectual property covering methods to diagnose liver diseases via the detection of specific fucosylated glycoproteins. The intellectual property is owned by Drexel University and licensed to Glycotest. The licensed intellectual property will be used in this project in a way that could potentially impact the marketability of the intellectual property. See the uploaded COI management plan.
Glycopathology of HCC: identification of the source cells of serum fucosylation
Narrative: This application aims to discover the sugar changes that occur in liver cancer by a direct examination of the cancer tissue. We will link this glycan change with the genetic profile of the tumor and identify new serum biomarkers that reflect changes that are occurring directly in the tumor.

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.
