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.

This grant project could provide Regulus information above novel biomarkers used for diagnosis of diseases. Regulus' company strategy includes identifying biomarkers. This could cause future payments to Max Planck, and in turn Dr. Tuschl through his inventor's share at Max Planck.
Clinical utility of extracellular RNA as marker of kidney disease progression
Chronic kidney disease is responsible for enormous human suffering and decreased life expectancy. Identifying patients with greater risk of worsening function of the kidneys may improve their care. We propose to examine urine of patients with kidney disease for the presence of small RNA molecules. We will follow patients to determine whether our approach can identify patients at risk for worsening disease, and will develop a laboratory test that can be used in the clinical setting to manage patients with chronic kidney disease.

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.
