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.
Proteomics of eosinophil activation
PROJECT NARRATIVE Disruption or irritation of a barrier presents our immune system with the task of customizing the inflammatory response to fit the threat. Eosinophils, white cell that are easily identified in a blood smear by their abundant plump granules and bilobed nucleus, are a dominant cell in the response mediated by Th2 helper cell population of lymphocytes. This response, although more benign and indolent than the Th1 response, is associated with a considerable disease burden in the form of conditions such as asthma and eosinophilic esophagitis. The contributions of eosinophils to these conditions are incompletely understood. We propose to use cutting-edge global proteomic techniques to assemble comprehensive ?score-cards? of the proteins in eosinophils isolated from blood or inflamed tissues and learn how the proteins are altered acutely when eosinophils are stimulated to enter inflamed tissues. These data will identify cellular targets with which to modulate eosinophils in ways that control eosinophilic inflammation and associated diseases.

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.
