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.

Novobiotic Pharmaceuticals LLC
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
PI has a ownership interest in Novobiotic Pharmaceuticals LLC, to which a subaward was issued. The PI's interest in Novobiotics could potentially affect the design, conduct and/or reporting of the research results. This fCOI is mitigated by the fact that the material (data/results) generated by Novobiotic are send to another subrecipient organization for further testing.
Resolving the bottleneck in antibiotic discovery
Narrative There is a looming human health crisis caused by the spread of drug-resistant pathogens. We will develop a new platform for discovering effective antibiotics by exploiting an untapped source ? uncultured bacteria, combined with an effective method to decide early on if a compound has potential value by identifying its mode of action.

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.
