Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
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.

Eigengene will subcontract on this project to enhance the investigator's intellectual property.
Multi-Tensor Decompositions for Personalized Cancer Diagnostics and Prognostics
Recurring DNA copy-number alterations have been recognized as a hallmark of cancer for >100 years, yet what these alterations imply about a tumor's pathogenesis and a patient's diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment remains poorly understood. In this NCI U01 project, we will (i) develop generalizations of the mathematical frameworks that underlie the theoretical description of the physical world, (ii) use these frameworks to model patient-matched datasets from the Cancer Genome Atlas, and gain biological and medical insights into the genotype-phenotype relations in cancer, and (iii) translate these insights into pathology laboratory tests. Ultimately this projct will bring physicians a step closer to one day being able to predict and control the progression of cell division and cancer as readily as NASA engineers plot the trajectories of spacecraft today.

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.
