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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

South Plains Biotechnology (SPB)

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

The TTUHSC Conflict of Interest in Research Committee (COIRC) has determined that Dr. Bergeson has a conflict of interest as defined by TTUHSC OP 73.09, Conflict of Interest in Research, as a consequence of her interest in South Plains Biotechnology, Inc and the TTUS. The Conflict derives from the potential for her to benefit financially from South Plains Biotechnology, Inc. and IP ownership interests held by the TTU System Office of Research Commercialization that could be influenced by results of ongoing or proposed research.

Listed Research Project
Chemically modified minocycline for treatment of alcohol use disorder

Public Health Relevance Statement (Project Narrative) Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a complex spectrum disorder that presents unmet clinical treatment challenges. Accumulating evidence indicates that the action of ethanol on the innate immune system leads to chronification of risky drinking, potential physical dependence, and often dangerous withdrawal symptoms. The proposed pre-clinical, IND-enabling project is a collaboration with NIAAA?s Division of Medications Development and addresses testing chemically modified minocycline analogs to prepare for Phase 1 of the FDA approval process.

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.
