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 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.
Protective Immune Mechanisms against Zika Virus Infection in the Female Reproductive Tract
PROJECT NARRATIVE An ideal Zika virus vaccine would protect against both mosquito-borne and sexually transmitted infection (since either route could result in congenital infection), but the mechanisms of protection against flavivirus sexual transmission are unknown. Although cross-reactive dengue antibodies do not provide durable protection against mosquito-borne Zika virus, vaginal mucus provides additional mechanisms by which non-neutralizing antibodies could protect against sexual transmission. Protection by cross-reactive DENV Abs would impact the protective correlates of an effective ZIKV vaccine, the mechanisms of ZIKV congenital infection, and the epidemiology of ZIKV transmission in DENV-endemic areas.

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.
