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
Light-sheet microscopy (LSM) for rapid wide-area imaging and pathology of bread-loafed prostate specimens

Project Narrative This project aims to design, fabricate, validate, and translate a new light sheet microscopy system to help improve the efficiency of the current prostate pathology workflow. The proposed system has the potential to greatly reduce the number of normal prostate slices sent for full pathological makeup, as well as enable a preliminary estimate of tumor size, location, grade, and margin status. This will allow pathologists to more intelligently sample the total number of prostate slices and closely assess only those which contain diseased tissue, as well as more accurately examine the surgical specimen to guide subsequent adjuvant therapies, thereby resulting in significant healthcare savings and improved patient outcomes.

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.
