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.

Gold T-Tech, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Investigator has equity interests in Gold T-Tech, Inc., a company that could potentially financial benefit from the outcomes of this research. The company is developing a prototype mapping software that can generate electrogram morphology recurrence maps in a real time clinical setting and the evaluation of this system on ablation in ten patients who have previously failed conventional AF ablation. The relationship of the focus of this company and potential intersection with this research results in the perception of a conflict of interest that should be managed.
Pathophysiological Significance of Atrial Fibrillation Electrogram Patterns
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is rapidly emerging health issue in the United States, particularly among the elderly. Currently used ablation and surgical approaches to treat AF utilize empirically determined strategies targeting the pulmonary veins. This project investigates a novel electrogram mapping technique that may provide patient specific information regarding AF sources in the atria.

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.
