Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
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.

HeartFlow, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
The Cornell University conflicts in research policy, a significant financial interest exists when an investigator or his or her family holds any equity interest. Dr. Min has (b)(4) stock options equity in HeartFlow, a nonpublicly traded company. HeartFlow's software that employs computational methods to determine coronary flow, velocity and pressure from typically acquired computed tomography scans is being used in this study. If, in the course of the research, computational appraisal of coronary flow, pressure and velocity are deemed to be clinically useful, these findings may inform investigators as to the clinical utility and hence, subsequently the value of this company which creates a financial conflict of interest.
Anatomic and Physiologic Determinants of Vessel-Specific Ischemia by Coronary CT
For patients with ischemic heart disease, non-invasive stress tests are targeted towards identifying individuals with myocardial ischemia, or reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Non-invasive computed tomography (CT) scans of the heart now allow for advanced characterization of heart artery blockages, as well as determination of whether blockages cause ischemia. This study will establish whether CT permits diagnosis of ischemia in a manner more accurate than stress testing for not only identifying patients who have ischemia but also pinpointing the blockages that are the cause.

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.
