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.

Development of a vaccine for human chlamydia genital infection
Project Narrative Mucosal immune responses provide superior protection against infectious disease, but most currently licensed vaccines produce antibody responses instead of Th1 mucosal immunity because we lack knowledge for inducing mucosal immune responses, particularly genital mucosal Th1 cell immunity. Chlamydia trachomatis induces a mucosal infection and is a prominent cause of sexually transmitted infection (STI) with over 1 million cases in the U.S annually. Treatment for the resulting female reproductive dysfunction burdens the US health care system by billions of dollars annually and this proposal directly addresses the problem of identifying how to induce genital mucosal Th1 cell immunity for production of a vaccine against infections such as C. trachomatis STIs.

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.
