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.

Epic Systems
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
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.
E-Cigarettes: Dynamic Patterns of Use and Health Effects
E-cigarettes (novel nicotine delivery devices) are seeing rapid adoption in the US, but critical use pattern, health, and safety data do not exist to inform policy decisions. The proposed research will follow a cohort of both cigarette and dual (cigarette+e-cigarette) users for two years to collect unique data on patterns of use, cancer biomarkers, and health outcomes to better inform policy, clinical, and research decisions.

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.
