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

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Western Psychological Services

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

The primary aim of this project is to combine evidence for treatment effects of early intervention and mediation of changes in parent behaviors on changes in child behaviors across the three RCTs of Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), Early Social Intervention (ESI), and Joint Attention Symbolic Play Engagement and Regulation (JASPER) treatment using innovative statistical techniques. Dr. Lord is the co-author of one of the diagnostic tools that may be assessed in this study. That particular tool has become the gold standard in autism research. Dr. Lord receives royalty payments from Western Psychological Services for the global sales of those kits.

Listed Research Project
Unpacking treatment mechanisms: Combining evidence from three early intervention models for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

The proposed study attempts to examine the moderators and mediators of treatment for young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) using cutting-edge measurement and statistical approaches. Answering questions about the mechanisms of treatment for ASD will help us gain insight into the active ingredients of early interventions, and will ultimately inform the development of cost-effective treatment models and dissemination of treatment techniques. Answering the question regarding for whom interventions work will help us individualize treatment programs for children and families with certain characteristics.

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.
