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.

Abelard Psychotherapy Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
The outside financial interest/activity is in the area of Professor Abelard's expertise as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. In addition to treating patients, Professor Abelard's outside activities include training to hospitals, colleges and organizations on topics ranging from suicide to telemental health to cultural awareness. Professor Abelard is a named co-investigator on the P20 Pilot Study entitled "A tablet-based simple walking intervention to improve self-management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fatigue." Professor Abelard's ownership of a private entity constitutes a Significant Financial Interest (SFI) and her work on the funded Pilot Study is related to her SFI because she will be utilizing her clinical expertise in fatigue management to contribute to Aim 1 of the Pilot Study, the development of cognitive behavioral therapy based educational modules for fatigue management and simple walking activity instructions.
UMass Center for Building the Science of Symptom Self-Management (UManage Center)
Project Narrative More than 90% of individuals over 65 in the United States have health issues that require daily maintenance and more than 33% of older individuals have functional impairments that affect their self-management abilities. We propose a new, innovative UMass Center for Building the Science of Symptom Self-Management (UManage Center) to develop the science of symptom self-management using wearable and handheld technologies. Using a functional approach to improve individuals' self- management of the symptoms of fatigue and impaired sleep through the use of wearable and handheld devices could reduce healthcare costs by reducing exacerbations of chronic conditions.

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.
