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
An Interneuron-based Cell Therapy for Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder afflicting nearly 3 million Americans. Given that loss or reduction of inhibitory synaptic transmission in hippocampus is one potential mechanism resulting in the emergence of epilepsy, a method to generate new hippocampal interneurons could have direct therapeutic consequences. Using mouse embryonic neural progenitor cells and a rodent model of epilepsy we propose to better understand and develop a novel interneuron-based cell therapy.

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.
