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.

Intervention Strategies for Non-Folate Responsive Neural Tube Defects
Neural tube defects (NTDs) arise when the neural tube fails to close during neurulation. Both genetic and non- genetic factors are implicated in the etiology of NTDs, with up to 70% of the variance in NTD prevalence attributable to genetic factors. NTDs stand out as a preventable birth defect. Although it is established that periconceptional use of folic acid (FA) prevents a significant percentage of the population burden of NTD, the mechanisms underlying those processes by which FA reduces NTD risk remains unknown. Importantly, are significant numbers of NTDs that are not preventable by FA supplementation. NTDs remain a substantial public health problem whose etiology remains far from being fully understood. Our proposed strategy is designed to provide a proof of principle validation of our working hypothesis that the non-FA responsive NTDs may be prevented by intervention with formate.

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.
