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.

Investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and retirement accounts, controlled by the Investigator
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.
Structure and stability in proteins and analogues
The proposed research focuses on two very difficult and biomedically significant problems in protein structure. One effort involves aggregated forms of proteins known as 'amyloids', which are associated with many human diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease). The other effort involves small segments of cell-surface proteins that are embedded in membranes and play crucial roles in information transfer into the cell. Mutations in these segments are linked to many human disease. For both topics, the link between structure and disease is unclear, and our studies are intended to contribute fundamental insights that might ultimately provide a foundation for therapeutically-oriented efforts.

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.
