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.

Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is the most common comorbidity in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and it is associated with increased mortality and rapid decline in lung function. The objective of this proposal is to examine the role of oxidative stress and CF-related polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) imbalance in the pathogenesis of CFRD. The long-term goal is to develop improved therapies to prevent the insulin secretory defects in CF and the progression to CFRD.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

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.
