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.

Dr. Klunk's conflict arises due to his interest as an inventor of the intellectual property being evaluated/developed in this research, which the University of Pittsburgh licensed to GE Healthcare.
Amyloid Pathology and Cognition in Normal Elderly
Our field has recently initiated four NIH-funded trials aimed at the prevention of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by targeting the amyloid-beta protein that is believed to start building up in the brains of many older adults as much as 10-15 years before any memory problems occur. However, we have no firm understanding of the time frame or risk of progression from this asymptomatic 'amyloid-positive' state to the onset of memory problems and Alzheimer's disease. We propose to use state-of-the-art brain imaging to continue the study of a group of older adults who have already been studied by us for up to 10 years to assess how the amyloid-positive state leads to the development of memory problems and Alzheimer's disease, thus facilitating the interpretation of the ongoing prevention trials.

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.
