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.

Novartis
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
The company is related to the area of NIH-Funded research. There is a potential conflict because the NIH-funded project involves research in an area of the company and thus the outcome of the research could possibly impact the company.
Regenerative Engineering of Complex Musculoskeletal Tissues and Joints
Statement of Public Health Relevance The problem of musculoskeletal tissue destruction, loss and wear has major societal implications. For example in the area of musculoskeletal joints, there are over 1 million total joint arthroplasty surgeries performed in the United States each year, with a rate of growth of 6% per year projected. Developing a new therapeutic strategy for the regeneration of complex musculoskeletal tissues and joints is proposed in this application. The work will revolutionize the way musculoskeletal tissue injury and wear is treated, tremendously improving the quality of lives of patients.

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.
