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.

Tuberculosis Second Line Drug Susceptibility Chip
NARRATIVE Drug susceptibility testing for MDR and XDR Tb is slow and fraught with technical difficulties. This proposal will develop a rapid, quantitative PCR-based diagnostic to detect susceptibility or resistance of Tb to second line drugs in a microplate format within 3 days. The assay will be adapted to a closed-system disposable chip to enhance biosafety for lab personnel and permit DNA quantification by our new 'pinwheel' approach. The results will be immediately usable by MDR Tb clinicians to better treat and decrease transmission of MDR/XDR Tb.

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.
