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.

Fitbit
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
The NIH-funded research involves the purchase and use of Fitbit products. Dr. Pagoto reports remuneration from Fitbit, which conflicts with such research because the use of the Fitbit products in the research may be perceived to influence the future financial relationship between Fitbit and Dr. Pagoto.
Mentoring in mHealth and Social Networking Interventions for CVD Risk Reduction
This mid-career development award is designed to support a mentorship plan in mHealth research for cardiovascular disease prevention that leverages the resources and transdisciplinary faculty of the UMass Center for mHealth. Mentees will receive guidance on research and professional development via writing groups, seminars, rotations/experiential learning, live and online courses, conference attendance, formal and informal meetings, and an online social network.

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.
