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.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution

Christopher Ryland, PI on the subaward, is co-inventor on a patent owned and managed by Virginia Tech University. He continues to work on the development of an arborizing fiber optic microneedle catheter to treat brain cancer, and this work extends on the issued patent. Some of this work is funded by this NIH-NCI subaward.

Listed Research Project
Maximizing Local Access to Therapeutic Deliveries in Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains an incurable brain cancer. Our group of investigators has been working together to address factors deciding about the poor effectiveness of current treatments. Thus, we design drug candidates with better access to GBM tumors and its compartments and/or facilitate the delivery of these drugs in innovative ways. Our approach should bring novel efficacious solutions to GBM management.

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.
