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.

United Charitable fbo Workwell Foundation

The primary purpose of this research is to investigate gene expression during exercise by subjects with myalgic encephoalomyelitis/chronic fatigue symptoms. In the conduct of the study, a two day exercise testing protocol developed by Workwell Foundation will be utilized. The co-investigator receives employment income from Workwell. Although the study sample size is not large enough for definitive verification, it is possible that t his research could result in signs that use of the two step exercise protocol is superior to other exercise protocols in this context, which could result in increased demand for Workwell exercise testing.
Exploring Host Gene Expression during Post-Exertional Symptom Flare in ME/CFS: A
People with ME/CFS suffer profound fatigue that is made worse by physical or mental activity and generally report other symptoms such as problems with sleep, thinking and body pain. Over one million Americans experience symptoms compatible with this syndrome and many suffer high levels of disability. The overall aim of this proposal is t look at the cause and physical processes involved in ME/CFS by combining new methods of genetic studies and a unique experimental design.

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.
