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.

Next generation technology to detect epigenetic alterations in human tissues
Increasingly, there has been a realization of the importance of accurate assessment of chromatin modifications for both clinical care (for example, for cancer detection, prognosis, determining treatment, designing new therapies, and predicting response) as well as for understanding carcinogenesis. A strategy is proposed to develop tissue sample harvesting, storage and processing methods to maximize cancer biospecimens' utility for high throughput epigenetic analysis using a novel PIXUL-ChIP platform. These pre-analytical and analytical tools will advance discovery, validation of cancer biomarkers improving clinical outcomes in patients with malignancies.

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.
