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

Q-Chem

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution

The institution's COI Committee determined that the PI's interest in Q-Chem, Inc. is related to the interest of the project and represents an FCOI in that those interests could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of the PHS-funded research by increasing the value of the SFI's stock.

Listed Research Project
Efficient double hybrid density functional theory algorithms for conformational a

This project aims to develop the fastest software for accurately predicting the conformational energies of biopolymer (such as peptides, proteins, carbohydrates) and the binding affinities between a ligand and a receptor. Building upon sophisticated quantum mechanics, this can lead to reliable and efficient computational tools for use in computer-aided drug design, and in the simulation of large, complex chemical/biological systems.

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.
