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.

Oak Park Pathology
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Carbone is a board certified pathologist who provides consultation, through his own consulting entity Oak Park Pathology, for malignant mesothelioma expertise and diagnosis at no cost to patients and colleagues, and for a fee to lawyers. This financial interest was identified as a potential financial conflict of interest in relationship to his continuing mesothelioma research.
Germline BAP1 Mutations and Malignant Mesothelioma: Mechanisms and Early Detection
Germline BAP1 mutations are associated with high susceptibility to multiple tumor types, and mesothelioma (MM) may predominate upon exposure to low amounts of asbestos that does not normally cause disease. Moreover, there are no known biomarkers for asbestos exposure or for early detection of MM. The proposed studies will determine how BAP1 mutations increase susceptibility to MM and evaluate whether HMGB1 can be used as a biomarker for early detection of MM in this high-risk cohort.

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.
