Conflict of Interest

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

Listed Research Project
Integrated treatments for core deficits in autism spectrum disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has a prevalence of 1 in 68 in the United States with the lifetime cost of disability estimated around $2 million. Despite efficacious interventions, few interventions improve core symptoms. The proposed research and training plan carries potential to not only develop targeted, behavioral-pharmacological treatments and improve core symptoms, but also mitigate the cascading effects of social disability in older children and individuals with ASD.

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.
