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.

Dr. Whitley is a member of the Board of Directors and will receive compensation in the amount of (b)(4) plus additional stock (the equivalent of (b)(4) in shares) and stock options ((b)(4) in options). The current value of his stock if (b)(4) and his stock options (b)(4).
The outcome of the research is of significant business interest to the entity and therefore the financial interest could likely change based on the research results.
Antiviral Drug Discovery and Development Center - Overall
The purpose of the project is to discover potential new drugs which could be used to treat infections such as West Nile virus and influenza that routinely infect US citizens, and for which we have limited or no treatments. We will also strive to develop therapies for emerging infections such as coronaviruses, dengue and chickungunya which pose risks for traveling US citizens or could be imported into the country by others.

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.
