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.

Medley Genomics
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
After reviewing the information provided by Professor Raphael, Princeton University determined that there exists a potential that your interest in Medley Genomics could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of your research funded by the Public Health Services 7R01HG007069-04 (Computational Characterization of Genetic Heterogeneity). Therefore, in accordance with Federal regulations and Princeton Policy, it is considered a financial conflict of interest (FCOI) and requires a management plan to mitigate any potential for conflict.
Computational Characterization of Genetic Heterogeneity
Project Narrative Identifying the inherited genetic differences associated with a disease and the acquired mutations that lead to cancer are major challenges in medicine. Next- generation DNA sequencing technologies enable measurement of these genetic variants, but interpreting the resulting data demands new computational and statistical approaches. This is particularly true as many diseases are heterogeneous, with many possible genetic causes. We will develop novel algorithms to aid in the discovery of disease-causing genetic variants that will enable better diagnostics and/or personalized treatments for various diseases.

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.
