Published Dec. 6, 2019
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.

NIRF Imaging, Inc.
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
Dr. Rasmussen holds equity in NIRF Imaging, Inc. and served as a paid consultant to the entity. The company developed and markets a camera device and contrast agents for lymphatic imaging, known as near infrared fluorescence. He is an inventor of UTHealth-owned intellectual property that is licensed to the company and the near-infrared lymphatic imaging technology that will be used and improved upon in the research project.
Imaging Chylo- and Lympho-thorax in Children with Congenital Heart Defects
Pleural effusions can represent a horrific complication following heart surgery for infants under 6 months of age. Unfortunately, there is no imaging diagnostic that can help clinicians understand the cause of the pleural effusions and guide timely treatment to resolve the complication. In this R21 application we will conduct a pilot clinical study to use 'point-of-care,' near-infrared lymphatic imaging to visualize pathways of fluid drainage into the pleural cavity of these critically ill infants in the pediatric intensive cre unit.

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.
