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.

Automated Patient-Specific Dendritic Cell Generation for Transcriptomics-Driven Vaccinology
Dendritic cells are responsible for the body's response to disease and infection. Having an adequate supply of these cells is essential for the discovery of new vaccines that can provide better treatments for infectious diseases as well as cancer. This project will develop new technology to generate dendritic cells efficiently and significantly reduc costs associated with the use of these cells in vaccine discovery.

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.
