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.

Low Intensity Weight Loss for Young Adults: Autonomous vs. Extrinsic Motivation
Forty percent of 18-25 year olds are overweight or obese, yet this population is markedly underrepresented in behavioral weight loss (BWL) programs, and to date, no programs exist that specifically target this group for weight loss. The proposed study will test the relative efficacy of two novel, low intensity weight loss programs designed to enhance motivation in this age group and a standard web program; all arms will be compared on initial weight loss and maintenance of weight loss following a 6-month no-treatment contact period. If efficacious, the proposed programs have potential for dissemination and could have profound public health impact by decreasing the financial and health costs associated with obesity as this generation ages.

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.
