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
With funding from NIH, Dr. Pan has developed IP in his lab that takes 2 dimensional images and creates a 3 dimensional image. He has recently co-founded the company, Clarix, LLC. The University of Chicago will license the software he has developed to his company.
Digital Specimen Tomosynthesis for Volumetric Imaging of Lumpectomy Specimens
The objective of the program is to develop a digital specimen tomosynthesis (DST) imaging system for acquiring volumetric information of lumpectomy and surgical specimens. The DST can add significant value to the intra-operative evaluation of surgical specimens by enhancing immediate, accurate identification of positive margins in and near surgical suites, thereby reducing the frequency of positive margins being found postoperatively and consequent post-surgical re-excision. It can also find other clinical and preclinical applications, including guidance to pathologists to target on regions within a specimen of high likelihood of being positive margins, thus improving the sensitivity of the pathologic examination, by reducing the incidence of missed positive regions due to current suboptimal sampling in lumpectomy and surgical specimens.

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.
