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.

Listed Research Project
Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is primarily responsible for the increasing incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the United States, and approximately 80% of patients with HCV-associated HCC have underlying cirrhosis, the main predisposing condition for HCC development. However, the risk of HCC development is not uniform among patients with chronic HCV infection. We propose to test whether genetic variations explain individual susceptibility to HCC in the presence and absence of HCV infection.

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.
