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.

Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)
An outside activity has a nexus with an individual's research activities if the outside activity arises from, relies upon or is related to the academic expertise that qualifies that individual to participate in federally funded research or human subjects research. The Institution has reasonably determined that the significant financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the PHS-funded research and so requires management.
Zika virus pathophysiology during pregnancy
Overall - Project Narrative Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause multi-system (e.g,. brain, retinal, auditory, musculo- skeletal, placental) fetal damage of varying severity, effects that are collectively termed congenital Zika syndrome. In this Program Project we will test the hypothesis that prolonged detection of Zika virus in maternal blood during pregnancy predicts fetal injury and birth defects, both of which we predict are more common than currently thought. We will also evaluate how pre-existing immunity to related den- gue viruses and passive immunity to Zika virus modulate the duration of sustained Zika virus detection and/or risk of congenital Zika syndrome in fetuses; completion of this project could provide pregnant women with a better way of assessing the risk of congenital Zika virus infection and offer new therapeu- tic options to reduce this risk during the later stages of pregnancy.

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.
