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

University of Pittsburgh

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution

Dr. Hinck's conflict arises due to his proprietary interest as an inventor of patented intellectual property which is being evaluated or developed in this research.

Listed Research Project
Inhibition of the tumor-promoting effects of TGF-beta in advanced prostate cancer

This research will investigate a promising new approach for treating advance androgen- independent prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death in American men. The proposed strategy is to reduce the levels of transforming growth factor-beta, which is known to promote the progression of prostate cancer, including its metastasis to the bone and lungs, by neutralizing it with novel fusion proteins in which the extracellular domains of the transforming growth factor beta receptors are linked together by artificial linkers.

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.
