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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

RareCyte, Inc.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)

RareCyte is a life science company focused on the development, commercialization and sale of technologies for imaging rare cells in human samples including blood and tissue. This multi-investigator HTAN project based at OHSU will construct a Human Tumor Atlas Network of breast and ovarian cancer; the Sorger lab will provide tissue-imaging technologies. RareCyte technologies will be used to conduct the research.

Listed Research Project
Omic and Multidimensional Spatial Atlas of Metastatic Breast and Prostate Cancers

PROJECT NARRATIVE Treatments of metastatic breast and prostate cancers typically are not durable. The OMS Atlas project will apply state of the art analysis tools to tumor samples taken at multiple times during treatment in order to identify changes in the components and structures of these cancers that enable them to escape therapeutic control. This information will guide the development of new therapeutic approaches that can be used to reestablish control and develop new diagnostic procedures that will guide the use of these treatments.

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.
