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.

Listed Research Project
Evasion of Antigen Presentation by Rhesus Cytomegalovirus

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) establishes asymptomatic chronic infection in the vast majority of the world's population despite eliciting and maintaining considerable adaptive immune responses. However, HCMV can cause disease in immunocompromised individuals, such as the developing fetus or transplant recipients, indicating that the immune system can control but not eliminate HCMV. Our goal is to obtain a better understanding of this complex interaction between the host's immune response and viral immune evasion mechanisms in order to improve the design of vaccines against HCMV as well as harnessing the unique immunology and biology of CMV for the development of CMV-based vaccines.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

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.
