E-drug: Database re: Scientists & Conflicts of Interest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIFTING THE VEIL OF SECRECY: NEW WEBSITE LISTS SCIENTISTS' LINKS TO INDUSTRY
The Center for Science in the Public Interest has posted on the Internet
a database of over 1,100 professors and scientists who consult for or
have other affiliations with chemical, gas, oil, food, drug, and other
companies. The web site also provides partial information about
nonprofit and professional organizations that receive industry funding.
Both parts of the database will be regularly expanded in the future.
The well-documented database is designed for activists, journalists,
policy makers, and others who are concerned about potential conflicts of
interest. The database is part of CSPI's Integrity in Science project,
one purpose of which is to encourage greater public disclosure of
corporate sponsorship of science.
For further information, or to contribute to the database, contact Ron
Collins, ronc@cspinet.org, or 202-332-9110, ext. 322, or CSPI, Suite
300, 1875 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20009.
