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.

Listed Research Project
Single-photon counting APD arrays for high-through-put single-molecule assays

The development of new detectors for high-throughput single-fluorescence molecule spectroscopy will result in accelerated measurements and enable highly parallel studies. This will allow mainstream researchers to take advantage of this powerful technology, thus accelerating the pace of discovery. It will also make high-throughput diagnostics and drug screening applications of single-molecule a practical reality, therefore permitting advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

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.
