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.

Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
The combination of the investigator's significant financial interest in the outside activity and the nexus between the investigator's research corresponds to the definition of a FCOI and so requires management.
Real-time Ultrasonic Monitoring of Tumor Ablation
We propose to develop a noninvasive and nonionizing approaches using ultrasound based strain and modulus imaging to monitor minimally invasive ablative therapies such as radiofrequency and microwave ablation for treating primary liver tumors and metastases. Treatment monitoring is essential since local recurrence rates after RF ablative therapy are as high as 34-55%, due in part to the inability to accurately visualize and delineate the zone of necrosis in the region treated.

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.
