The number is averaged from billed hours during the calendar year of 2016 starting with the March 2 project and ending with the completion of the last project that year on December 12. Since the December project began on Dec 14, 2016 and completed on March 20, 2017, an estimate of 10 hours was used for that portion done during 2016.

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.
