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

3Helix

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

The investigator's licensed intellectual property will be used in the study. The investigator has a significant financial interest with 3Helix, a company that is commercializing the collagen hybridizing peptide used in this project.

Listed Research Project
Targeting Collagen Mechanical Damage using Collagen Hybridizing Peptides

PROJECT NARRATIVE Detection of Collagen Mechanical Damage using Collagen Hybridizing Peptides. The proposed work will develop new and improved peptide-based probes that can hybridize to mechanically damaged collagen with high efficiency; these probes will be used to elucidate the mechanisms of stress-induced injury in tendon and articular cartilage. Fibrous collagen is the major component of almost every load-bearing tissue, and molecular-level collagen damage is associated with permanent mechanical damage in those tissues. The outcome of this research will help manage common musculoskeletal injuries and disorders by deepening our understanding of mechanical damage in tissues and by identifying opportunities for new diagnostics and therapies.

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.
