Filing Type

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

Waypoint Health Innovations

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

Dr. John Greist previously held stock in Waypoint Health Innovations (“Waypoint”), which developed the “Thrive” intervention that this research project is evaluating. Waypoint is providing Thrive to Montana State University at no cost for use in the study. Dr. Greist no longer has a direct financial interest in Waypoint, but does retain a small interest in the company through another, Healthcare Technology Systems (“HTS”), where Dr. Greist is CEO and a shareholder. Dr. Greist holds about (b)(4) ownership in HTS, which in turn owns less than (b)(4) of Waypoint. Dr. Greist is also a consultant to Waypoint on projects outside of this grant.

Listed Research Project

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.
