Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
Published Dec. 6, 2019
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.

Interneuron Precursors and the induction of cortical plasticity
Precursor of cortical interneurons, a collection of local-circuit inhibitory nerve cells essential to proper brain function, have a unique potential for brain repair when grafted into the juvenile brain these young neurons migrate and integrate into host circuitry inducing a new period of cortical plasticity. We propose experiments to identify which type(s) of interneurons are responsible for the induction of cortical plasticity in mice and determine if these cells can induce similar plasticity and functional recovery when grafted into fully mature adult brain. This work will suggest key neuronal cell types required for the induction of cortical plasticity, essential information for the further development of interneuron transplantation for brain repair.

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.
