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.

Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution
Dr. Zhao is entitled to receive an inventor's share of license fees and royalties through separate licenses from Columbia University to Keosys and Varian (same or similar technology is licensed to both companies. Columbia's Policy on FCOI includes royalties above $5,000 even if received through the University. Dr. Zhao received payments of approximately (b)(4) from each company within the past 12 months and Columbia anticipates she will continue to receive royalties in the (b)(4) range in the coming year. Dr. Zhao continues to conduct research that relates to segmentation algorithms covered by these licenses. In light of these facts, Columbia has determined that the outcome of this research could affect the value of the license and Dr. Zhao's financial interest in the design, conduct or reporting of the research.
Computational modeling of tumor burden by CT to advance cancer therapeutics
This project teams cancer physicians, radiologists, and industry scientists to develop improved methods for testing new cancer drugs in patients. These experts will first use new methods to analyze CT scans from patients who participated in previous clinical trials. The research team will then use this information to develop new, quicker ways to test new cancer drugs in small numbers of patients to tell whether or not these treatments show promise for helping others.

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.
