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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Tissue Regeneration Systems, Inc.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
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. 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.

Listed Research Project
A Neurovascular Microphysiological System

PROJECT NARRATIVE The developing brain is at its most vulnerable during the early stages of neurodevelopment, and it is particularly vulnerable during the establishment of the brains extensive vascular network. There are no human brain models that capture this specific point in development and vascular contributions to neurological disorders remain poorly understood. Using human microphysiological systems we are able to capture this key developmental stage on a dedicated chip that is easy to use and generates measurable outcomes that will aid in the understanding of how the brain?s vasculature develops, how the vasculature in turn influences development of the human cortex, and which components contribute to progression of neurological diseases.

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.
