Conflict of Interest

The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Pulmokine Inc.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Other : The potentially conflicted investigator is an employee of Pulmokine Inc. and majority shareholder in Pulmokine Inc.; Pulmokine Inc. is not public and is not traded.

The potentially conflicted investigator is an employee of Pulmokine Inc. and a majority shareholder in Pulmokine Inc. Pulmokine Inc. is not public and its shares are not traded. According to 42 CFR 50.603 "the term significant financial interest does not include the following types of financial interests: salary, royalties, or other remuneration paid by the Institution to the Investigator if the Investigator is currently employed or otherwise appointed by the Institution, including intellectual property rights assigned to the Institution and agreements to share in royalties related to such rights; any ownership interest in the Institution held by the Investigator, if the Institution is a commercial or forā€profit organization." Nevertheless, the Institution recognizes that Institution is relying on the funded research to move its drug candidate towards clinical trials and eventual commercialization. Therefore, even though strictly speaking criteria for a significant financial interest are not met, the institution has implemented a management plan.

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.
