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.

Moonlight Therapeutics
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
The research being conducted under the sponsored project pertains to developing the microneedle technology for treatment of allergy. This is also the goal of the entity (Moonlight Therapeutics). Per se the research being conducted under the sponsored project is not influenced by the entity. However it can be perceived by outsiders that the research results and discoveries will be made available to the entity. However, new discoveries and results will first be disclosed to the office of commercialization at TTU. The entity will have the option to examine these results through appropriate channels with the office of commercialization.
Microneedles for allergy immunotherapy
This project focuses on development of a novel allergy immunotherapy approach based on microneedles. Microneedles are painless, and convenient to use. Successful completion of the project may provide a patient friendly and simple approach to treat allergies, replacing the current rather prolonged and painful procedure of giving allergy shots with injections.

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.
