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.

Nodexus, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
The Committee determined that the relationship with this SFI could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct or reporting of the PHS-funded research.
A Label-Free, Point-of-Care Platform to Diagnose Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
We propose to develop a rapid label-free platform to detect and screen leukemic cells in bone marrow samples or peripheral blood of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a highly aggressive disease a highly that accounts for 6-8% of all adult and 10% of all pediatric acute myeloid leukemia's (AML) in the United States. If undiagnosed, APL can lead to rapid death due to disseminated intravascular coagulation, often within 24 hours of symptom presentation. Our platform will enable rapid accurate diagnosis of this disease, especially in areas such as community practices, non-specialized hospitals/clinics, and low-resource settings where conventional methods of diagnosis are not available, thus allowing for life saving therapy to be administered without delay.

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.
