Additional Comments

I'm not sure what that previous question means exactly: as in during work hour, or as in while I work at UT, which I would think would be the point. It is related to previous work that I've done at UT, but I might receive compensation for similar work performed now. (When Dr. Gibson was my direct supervisor we did a research project and report on Belize in which I was involved.) If I were able to travel or receive compensation for my work with Belize I would do that. There are no understandings regarding any expected compensation at this point in time; but if the opportunity arose, I would do that, but only to an extent that it did not interfere with my job at UT. I could conceivably take vacation days to work for TBF. I have no specific expectation for such opportunities/conflicts at this point in time. The type of work that TBF does, specifically what I do for TBF falls into UT's rules as not needing to have permission or be reported.

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.
