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.

ExBaq
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
This R01 supports basic science related to rifabutin. ExBaq has a commercial interest in developing rifabutin for clinical use.
Characterization of Rifabutin Therapy Against Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
NARRATIVE Acinetobacter baumannii, is one of the most threating bacterial pathogens in large part due to its increasing resistance to antibiotics. Using a novel testing strategy, we have recently identified rifabutin as being highly active against this bacteria pathogen. Further characterization is needed to determine the efficacy of rifabutin in multiple models of disease and against multiple bacteria species.

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.
