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.

There is some overlap between the research and the company. The same approach implementation of biodegradable matrix for regeneration
A Translational Approach Towards Ligament Regeneration
Stem cell based strategies by using autologous mesenchymal stem cells have great potential in tissue engineering. We have previously demonstrated the feasibility of developing a bioengineered degradable scaffold with excellent mechanical properties closely matching that of the natural ligament. The proposed study seeks to understand the role of scaffold surface properties on improving cell adhesion and function and develop a clinically feasible cell-scaffold based approach to accelerated ligament tissue regeneration using the bioengineered scaffold and bone marrow derived mononuclear cells.

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.
