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.

Arctic Partners
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution
OPKO Health is a publicly traded company involved in developing point of care devices that measure clinical biomarkers, including PSA and related kallikrein (K) markers for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Dr. Vickers is the inventor of an algorithm that is licensed to OPKO. OPKO pays Arctic Partners royalties, who in turn make royalty payments to Dr. Vickers at an amount that is an SFI. OPKO’s business interest overlap with the focus of this study because this study will be investigating some of the markers that are in the OPKO algorithm and evaluating their correlations with other data.
Dynamic, multi-cohort prediction modeling of prostate biopsy outcome
Close to 1 million US men are subject to unnecessary biopsy for prostate cancer each year. We propose to create a statistical model to predict prostate cancer risk. This model will be based on a large and diverse cohort of patients from multiple centers in North America and Europe.

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.
