Conflict of Interest

The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

African American Cardiovascular pharmacogenetic CONsorTium (ACCOuNT): discovery and translation

PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE The diverse group of experts that form ACCOuNT (African American Cardiovascular pharmacogenetic Consortium), will develop a model for the discovery, translation and implementation of precision medicine in African Americans that will lay the ground work for continued investment and growth in minority pharmacogenomics. With the involvement of institutional and community partners throughout two major American cities, Chicago and the District of Columbia, we will establish the largest repository of pharmacogenomic information on African Americans as well as lasting infrastructure that can be utilized to spur continued research in this understudied area of precision medicine.

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.
