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.

Defining the genetic requirements for maintenance of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and almost half of the population will develop at least one benign tumor during their lifetime. Understanding the factors that tumor cells depend on for survival and growth will identify cancer-specific weaknesses that can be exploited for therapy. This project uses state-of-the-art genetic approaches to identify such dependencies with the hope that they will provide clues toward more effective and less toxic cancer treatment.

Tell us what you know about Lukas Dow's disclosure
We're still reporting about conflicts of interest. Is there something you'd like to tell us about this disclosure?
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.
