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.

Complexa, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Schopfer's conflict arises due to his interest as an inventor of the intellectual property being evaluated/developed in this animal and bench research, which the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Alabama, Birmingham licensed to Complexa. Dr. Schopfer also consults for Complexa and has an ownership interest in the company.
Protection against sickle cell disease nephropathy by nitrated fatty acids
The research plan is relevant to public health because it proposes a novel pharmacological strategy that induces endogenous cytoprotective mechanisms and inhibits inflammation to prevent renal dysfunction in sickle cell disease. Renal dysfunction accounts for approximately 15% of all mortality associated with sickle cell disease, a condition that affects 100,000 Americans and 0.3 billion people worldwide. Thus, this proposal is significant to the NIH mission in that it seeks to apply fundamental knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability.

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.
