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.

Developing and Scaling an interactive text messaging tool to help pregnantsmoker
The goal of this research is to develop, test and introduce an interactive text-based product to help pregnant women quit smoking. It builds on Voxiva's decade-long experience with the creation of mobile health applications including text4baby and text2quit. We will develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an application to reduce smoking in pregnant women that incorporates the best evidence about smoking cessation in pregnancy and can be delivered cost effectively and sustainably at national scale. Addressing the single most preventable cause of maternal and infant morbidity, this approach has the potential to rapidly and cost-effectively increase the scale and effectiveness of prevention efforts directed at reducing smoking during pregnancy and become established as a vital and successful product. .

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.
