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. Nikiforov's conflict arises due to his interest as an inventor of the intellectual property being evaluated/developed in this human subject research, which the University of Pittsburgh optioned to UPMC.
Head and Neck Cancer SPORE
The goal of this application is to use a multi-disciplinary approach to improve the management and outcomes in head and neck cancers including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and thyroid cancer. We will advance the prevention and treatment for head and neck squamous cell cancer patients by identifying new ways to prevent and treat the disease based on the biology of the individual patient's tumor and new biomarkers that predict risk and response to therapy. We will advance the management of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer by integrating novel next generation sequencing platforms into clinical strategies.

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.
