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.

Filing Type

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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Lung Therapeutics, Inc (LTI)

Disclosed Value

$0 - $4,999

Listed Reason

Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

LTI member and investigator on research involving manufacture and delivery of SCUPA to lung injuries.

Listed Research Project

Role of p53 and PAI-1 in tobacco smoke exposure induced lung injury

Exposure to tobacco smoke (TS) damages the lung lining (lung epithelium) and can lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Our findings and the literature suggest that TS-induced lung injury involves alveolar epithelial cell death and abnormal fibrin turnover. In this project, e will determine how p53, a protein causing epithelial cell death, regulates PAI-1, an inhibitor of the blood clot dissolution system, to influence the viability of the lung epithelium

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.
