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.

Mechanisms of Cell/Surface Interaction
This proposal addresses the clinical need for dental and orthopaedic implants that promote rapid osseointegration and earlier loading times, particularly when placed in bone compromised by disease or physiology of the patient. By understanding how surface morphology and chemistry modulate cell response, materials may be developed that control cell behavior through structural and chemical signaling, without the need for pharmacologic modification. We propose to perform studies that determine if cell and tissue responses can be improved if the surfaces have novel nanoscale properties including structural features as well as chemistries. We will test effectiveness both in vitro and in vivo.

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.
