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.

Redbud Labs
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
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.
Computer Integrated Systems for Microscopy and Manipulation (CISMM)
(Provided by Applicant): The proposed research will invent, develop, and deploy novel force microscopes, new molecular markers, and new image analysis to support research in cell biology, thrombosis (clotting), and airways (breathing). Researchers are working with nineteen collaborators working on basic research and health issues ranging from surgery planning for pediatric patients with narrowed airways to cystic fibrosis, blood clotting disorders, and skin and other cancers. The results will be brought into broad use by reporting them in publications, by presenting them at conferences, by releasing them as open-source software, by incorporating them into commercial products, and by teaching about them at annual workshops. ____________________________________________________________________________

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.
