Bioengineering Team-Based Projects and Summer Immersion to Improve Design Experti

The cost of medical care is staggering in the U.S. One way to hold down costs and maintain or enhance patient care is the development of more cost effective, safer medical devices. To meet this need, we must increase the number and the quality of bioengineers trained to identify and solve these problems and design healthcare solutions, which we plan to do in this proposed project.

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.
