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.

Ventrix, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Christman is a founder and a member of the board of directors of Ventrix, Inc. (Ventrix). She holds (b)(4) equity in the company. Additionally, she receives compensation from the company for consulting activities. The mission of the company is to develop and commercialize an injectable cardiac scaffold for treating myocardial infarction. The goal of this fellowship is to mechanistically interrogate tissue specificity of extracellular matrix hydrogels on skeletal muscle regeneration through quantitative systems-level analysis.
Design of Tissue Specific Extracellular Matrix Hydrogels for Skeletal Muscle Regeneration
Project Narrative There is currently no cure for peripheral artery disease (PAD), which afflicts 12-20% of Americans over 65. The proposed work, if successful, will provide a minimally invasive, biomaterial-alone treatment option for patients with PAD. This treatment is greatly needed because over 40% of patients are not eligible for current surgical interventions, and even those who receive surgical treatment have a high failure rate and post-surgical mortality rates remain high. �

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.
