Conflict of Interest

The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

UCLA SPORE in Brain Cancer

Overall: UCLA SPORE in Brain Cancer NARRATIVE The UCLA Brain Cancer SPORE will support research into new and innovative strategies to diagnose and treat brain cancer, particularly focusing on novel ways to overcome the problem of treatment resistance. Despite many different treatment approaches, the five-year survival rate for glioblastoma (WHO grade IV glioma) patients is still <5%, and there are no definitive cures for this disease. Thus, the proposed research is of relevance to public health, as there is clearly an unmet need for patients with this type of cancer and novel therapeutic approaches are warranted.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

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.
