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)

How the interest relates to the PHS-funded research: 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.

Basis for determination of conflict: 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
Wisconsin Center for the Neuroscience and Psychophysiology of Meditation

Meditation is widely used throughout the United States to improve well-being and to help relieve suffering associated with many diseases, yet there is preciously little understanding of how meditation works. In this CERC, we propose to extend the research we began during the previous grant period that seeks to understand the neural bases and biological and behavioral correlates of two different forms of meditation. This research will shed on the mechanisms by which meditation exerts its effects.

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.
