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.

Chopra Foundation
Salary not from the awardee Institution
Dr. Mills serves as a Research Director for Chopra’s research projects. The mission of Chopra is to advance the cause of mind/body spiritual healing, education, and research through fund raising for selected projects. This grant is to examine the potential benefits of a gratitude intervention to increase positive health behaviors, psychological health, and physical functioning in post-myocardial infarction patients. Per Dr. Mills, there are mutual overlapping interests between Chopra and this grant.
Gratitude in Post MI Patients Effects on Health Related Mood and Clinical Outcome
Psychosocial factors, including positive affect, finding meaning in the event, and managing emotional distress, influence prognosis following a myocardial infarction (MI). Gratitude, typically defined as a feeling or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive, is associated with higher levels of subjective well-being, and people who are more grateful experience less stress, are less depressed, have higher levels of control over their environment and more positive ways of coping. The present project will examine the potential benefits of a gratitude intervention to increase positive health behaviors, psychological health, and physical functioning in post-MI patients.

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.
