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.

Ribometrix, Inc.
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
The SFIs of the investigator are related to the funded research since the technology being used in the project has been licensed to the company with which the investigator has multiple relationships.
The Institution has determined that since the technology could be further validated as a result of the research, these financial interests could conflict with project.
The role of higher order RNA structure in RNA virus replication and infection
PROJECT NARRATIVE Dengue virus, a serious mosquito-borne pathogen that threatens more than one-third of the world?s population, uses higher-order structure in its RNA genome to regulate critical steps in its viral life cycle. This research and training project involves the discovery and characterization of functional higher-order RNA structural elements conserved across the RNA genomes of multiple dengue virus serotypes. Novel RNA regulatory motifs discovered in dengue virus may be exploited in the development of critically needed and broadly effective anti- dengue virus therapeutics and vaccination strategies.

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.
