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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

CellSNAP LLC

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)

This outside activity has a nexus with the investigator's research activities because the outside activity arises from and relies upon the academic expertise that qualifies this individual to participate in this PHS funded research activity.

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.

Listed Research Project
Characterization of Botulinum Neurotoxin A Subtypes

The proposed work will examine and compare the biological properties of the five botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) A subtypes and determine which structural features are responsible for specific functions of the toxin. The knowledge gained from this study and the technical systems developed for expression and manipulation of recombinant BoNTs will positively and significantly impact the botulinum toxin research field as well as the medical field by providing the basis for potentially improved and alternative BoNT based therapeutics, which could significantly increase BoNT treatment options and indications.

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.
