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.

Targeted closed-loop intracranial brain-stimulation to improve episodic memory
Project Narrative Diseases that affect human memory are among the most prevalent and devastating in modern society, including Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. However, the neural activity that supports memory ? and the ways in which it fails ? remain poorly understood. Worse yet is our understanding of how to adaptively intervene to correct disordered brain dynamics. This project will facilitate the discovery of electrophysiological biomarkers that indicate risk for cognitive loss in neurologic disease, and will guide the development of neurotherapeutics that repair altered brain states via closed-loop targeted intracranial stimulation.

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.
