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.

Listed Research Project
LIPIDOMICS BASED DIAGNOSTICS FOR NONALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS

There is a great clinical and public health need to develop a diagnostic method to allow 'point-of-care' diagnosis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, assess its progression towards cirrhosis and to evaluate its response to various treatments. This proposal will meet this challenge by identification and validation of a diagnostic signature of NASH, disease progression and response to treatment using state of the art high throughput lipidomic analysis of plasma samples obtained at the time of a liver biopsy in subjects with NAFLD from the NIDDK NASH Clinical Research Network and from matched controls without NAFLD.

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.
