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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

University of Pittsburgh

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Other : IP rights to UPitt - licensed

Dr. Klunk's FCOI arises due to his interest as an inventor of the intellectual property being evaluated or developed in this human subject research, which the University patented and licensed to GE Healthcare.

Listed Research Project
The Aging Brain and the Cognition-Mobility Interface in Clinically Normal Older Adults

Cognition and mobility are centrally integrated and functionally interrelated, making the cognition-mobility interface (COMBINE) an important research focus in aging. A decline in the COMBINE may be related to common underlying pathological substrates. The candidate is a licensed geriatrician trained in the US and Canada with clinical specialization in geriatric medicine, cognitive neurology, and hospital medicine, and doctoral training in cognition, mobility, and brain imaging. This award will train the candidate in the application of advanced multimodal neuroimaging to understand changes in the aging human brain and in the study of the cognition-mobility interface and, enable the candidate to become an independent physician-scientist. This research program will ultimately ascertain the interplay between three common age-related brain changes, namely abnormal protein (amyloid) deposition in the brain, small-blood vessel disease, and nerve cell death, and the decline in the COMBINE.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

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.
