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.

Cortico Metrics LLC
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Fischl is a co-founder of CorticoMetrics, LLC. The company develops software applications to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of the information that radiologists have access to for detection or diagnosis of neurological disorders and conditions. The foundation of orticoMetrics’ software technology is FreeSurfer, an open-source tool. The research project uses FreeSurfer for brain morphometry from MRI to study neurological effects. The Partners Committee on Outside Activities review panel evaluated the financial interest in connection with this research project and determined that, based on the close connection between the company's interests and the research, the financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the research.
Vitamin B12 status, cognitive decline and incident dementia
PROJECT NARRATIVE The serious neurologic consequences of clinical vitamin B12 deficiency results is well-established and evidence suggests that subclinical B12 deficiency, which may be present in up to 40% of older Americans, may also lead to neurocognitive dysfunction. However, there are many uncertainties associates with the existing evidence. The proposed project has strong public health relevance because subclinical deficiency of B12, which is easily and inexpensively identified and treated, is common and undiagnosed subclinical B12 deficiency may be an important missed opportunity for prevention of age-related neurocognitive decline and dementia.
