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.

Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
The University of Connecticut has created a management plan (see attached) to address this potential FCOI. The SFI has been disclosed and a monitoring system is in place to ensure PI disclosure on all publications and presentations. The SFI is also disclosed to all personnel associated with the project.
Arrhythmia Detection Using a Smart Phone
We propose to develop a smart phone application for detecting arrhythmia including atrial fibrillation (AF), which is the most common arrhythmia encountered in the United States. Monitoring for AF is important because, even when this arrhythmia is minimally symptomatic or paroxysmal, it is a major cause of disability and death among Americans with increasing numbers of African American and Asian patients affected by this disease. Implementation of arrhythmia monitoring including AF, premature atrial and ventricular contractions using a smart phone will lead to a more patient-friendly and timely means of arrhythmia diagnosis, and has the potential to reduce healthcare costs.

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.
