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)
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.
[PQC-3] A Metabolic Pathway Activation Marker for Prostate Cancer Prognosis
Advanced hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among US men. A widespread application of PSA screening and advances in diagnostic methods are leading to the detection of an increasing number of low grade PCas. Left untreated, some of these PCas may progress and become lethal. Many of them, however, may remain indolent and localized within the prostate for the rest of the patients' lives. There is no approved method of distinguishing between aggressive and indolent PCas. Therefore, patients with indolent PCas often undergo unnecessary and aggressive treatments with considerable side-effects and healthcare cost. We discovered a pathway that gets specifically activated in aggressive PCas. We propose to clinically validate a novel microscopic assay for a set of markers related to this pathway that can reliably detect PCas with high metastasis potential in the biopsy sections of localized tumors routinely performed in the clinic for PCa diagnosis.

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.
