Filing Type

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.

Protein voltage sensors: kilohertz imaging of neural dynamics in behaving animals

Attaining a rich understanding of how neural circuits convey and process information will require new technologies for high-fidelity recordings of electrical activity, including high-frequency and sub-threshold events, in genetically defined ensembles of neurons. Having recently developed two new classes of genetically encoded optical voltage-indicators with fast kinetics and large dynamic range, here we will use novel massively high-throughput protein screening methods to further improve their signaling capabilities, which we will validate and iteratively optimize in behaving nematodes, fruit flies and mice. To accompany these voltage-indicators, we will also create imaging instrumentation custom-designed for high-speed (~1 kHz) voltage-imaging in awake head-restrained and freely behaving mice.

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.
