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.

Opticent Health
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
The research is related to the focus of an entity in which Professor Zhang has significant financial interests, Opticent Health. This research involves using visible light OCT, the technology being commercialized by OpticentHealth. This project aims to assess the levels of oxygen / oxygen metabolism in the retina, which is one of the uses listed by OpticentHealth in their description of the uses of the technology. The close intersection of this research and Professor Zhang’s Opticent Health’s interests, particularly relative to OCT, results in the perception of a conflict of interest that should be managed.
Oxygen delivery and metabolism in diabetic retinopathy using visible-light optical coherence tomography
This project aims to better understand how imbalances in retinal oxygen delivery versus oxygen demand lead to the progression of diabetic retinopathy. To this end, we will use a novel imaging technology, visible-light optical coherence tomography, to fully characterize the oxygen delivery and metabolism in two distinct rodent models of diabetic retinopathy.

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.
