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.

Mitigation of Radiation-Induced Pulmonary Injury with Nrf2 activator
Lung is one of the most vulnerable organs to radiation toxicity. Lung failure might lead to mass casualties after accidental or deliberate radiation exposure. A new drug has been developed to activate an important cell protective molecule, Nrf2, which is key to suppressing the inflammatory processes leading to radiation lung injury. Preliminary studies demonstrate the potential of this new compound to prevent development of lung toxicity when given after lethal radiation exposure. Studies are designed to determine the optimal treatment schedule to achieve maximum effect in lung protection. If successful this will provide a safe and effective deliverable that can be stockpiled and made widely available in the event of a nuclear or radiological attack or accidental radiation exposure.

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.
