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.

ILLUMINA, INC.
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution
The outcome of the research is of significant business interest to the entity and therefore the financial interest could likely change based on the research results.
The investigators IP is related to that which is used in the project and thus its value could be impacted by the results.
Nanopore sequencing of DNA with MspA
The objective of this collaborative proposal is to bring nanopore sequencing to full fruition. With previous support we have engineered the porin MspA for nanopore sequencing and combined it with a processive enzyme to demonstrate nanopore sequencing. We propose to take the next steps necessary to ready the process for industrial integration, but we will also explore improvements and variations that make nanopore sequencing even more powerful.

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.
