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
Prescription Opioid Dependence Physiology Emotion and Treatment Outcome

The goal of the proposed research is: 1) to define the parameters of physiological dysregulation of the HPA axis & sleep, of CNS responses to drug-related and naturally rewarding stimuli, and of daily self-reported mood, stress & craving in recently detoxified patients with dependence on prescription opioids compared with age & gender matched normal control participants; 2) to assess the variability & changes in these parameters over time in the patients; and, 3) to determine the predictive relationship between dysregulation and post-discharge patient outcome. The overarching goal of this research will be to identify objective indicators of relapse risk, to inform treatment guidelines in this patient population, and to strengthen the foundations for translational research on opioid dependence, potentially advancing the rational development of new 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.
