Conflict of Interest

The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Listed Research Project
Mobile Group II Introns and Their Reverse Transcriptases

Public Health Relevance: The proposed research on mobile group II introns and group II intron-encoded and related reverse transcriptase will provide novel information about the mechanism and evolution of RNA splicing, introns, innate immunity, retrotransposons, and retroviruses, all of which are relevant to human diseases. The proposed research also includes the development of new methods for next-generation RNA sequencing, and the application of these methods to investigate the origin and function of human exosomal and plasma RNAs, potentially leading to new RNA-based diagnostics for human diseases. �

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.
