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.

Vasade Biosciences
Salary not from the awardee Institution
The stated goal of Vasade is “...the rational discovery, design and development of small molecules, peptides, and gene therapies targeting novel cell-signaling molecules that influence cardiac cell growth and survival.” This NIH proposal aims to inhibit the regulator of G protein signaling 14 (RGS14 KO), believed to be a key regulator of healthy cardiac growth and function, likely important in longevity and exercise. Due to this considerable relatedness between the efforts of Vasade and the current study, the perception of a conflict of interest (COI) exists.
RGS 14 Disruption, Vascular Effects Leading to Cardioprotection
Cardiovascular disease is America's leading health problem, and the leading cause of death. This application will study ischemic heart disease, the most common type of heart disease, in order to identify new treatments for this serious condition. We have identified a novel gene mechanism that protects against acute and chronic ischemia resulting in tissue death in the heart by reducing remodeling and heart failure via increasing blood flow to the ischemic heart.

We're still reporting about conflicts of interest. Is there something you'd like to tell us about this disclosure?
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.
