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.

Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dominique Missiakas, PhD is co-founder along with her Co-PI on the above grant, Olaf Schneewind, MD, PhD of the new, privately-held startup company ImmunArtes, LLC. This aim of this company is to develop vaccines against Staphylococcus aureus. Because the business interests of ImmunArtes, LLC overlaps with the overall aims of this R01, the University has determined that a financial conflict of interest exists that must be managed in relation to this research.
Vaccine Assembly from Surface Proteins of Staphylococcus aureus
NARRATIVE MRSA, antibiotic-resistant S. aureus, is a frequent cause of infectious disease morbidity and mortality in the United States, however vaccines for MRSA infections are not available. This need is addressed in a proposal that will reveal the molecular basis for immune evasion and protective immunity against S. aureus and generate MRSA vaccines for clinical development.

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.
