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.

Endothelium/Descemet's membrane Complex Optical Tomography
PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE Corneal graft endothelial rejection causes loss of functional vision and deterioration of patients' quality of life. Current diagnostic techniques fail in protecting corneal endothelial cells, owing o lack of sufficient diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. This proposed research activity aims at advancing the high definition optical coherence tomography technology to better describe the in vivo characteristics of corneal grafts endothelial/Descemet's membrane and then validating, in the setting of a clinical study, the utility of the developed technique and technology in the early and accurate diagnosis of corneal graft rejection.

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.
