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.

Listed Research Project
SCH: Ubiquitous rehabilitation to improve movement after neurologic injury

Impaired movement is common among individuals who have had a stroke or other neurologic injury and can severely limit activities of daily life. Current tols for rehabilitation are largely restricted to the clinic and are time and resource intensive. The goals of the proposed research are to develop new sensors and mobile interfaces that can track and train muscle activity in daily life and enable rehabilitation outside of the clinic.

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.
