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.

Molecular and genetic basis of deep venous thrombosis
Project Narrative Our central question is how changes in blood flow in the veins leads to the formation of clots. An important clue to answering this question comes from work we have done demonstrating that oscillatory blood flow triggers the formation of venous and lymphatic valves through control of gene expression in the cells lining the vessel wall. We now propose that the same program is used after valves are formed to prevent blood clot formation in leg veins. We will test this idea by examining vascular cell responses to flow both inside and outside the body, by using mice to examine clot formation and the role of specific genes in that process, and by examining human veins in the setting of health and disease.

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.
