The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Varieties of Impulsivity in Opiate and Stimulant Users

Heroin and amphetamine addiction remain significant public health problems worldwide. Much remains to be uncovered regarding their etiology, despite years of research that show a strong genetic basis for substance use disorders. We have identified a unique cohort of drug users characterized by predominantly monosubstance-dependent patterns of drug use and by protracted abstinence, which may help decipher some of the neurocognitive and genetic risk factors associated with drug addiction and their relation to HIV and other risk behaviors.

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.
