General Accounting Office Probes Tainted Medical Research.(Brief Article)
2002 JAN 16 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Universities and federal health officials must do more to prevent financial conflicts that could taint biomedical research and harm human subjects, a congressional review says.
The study by the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, said researchers do not have to disclose their financial interests to independent review boards, even though the boards must evaluate projects for risks to human subjects.
The GAO found the five universities it studied were hard-pressed to provide basic data about researchers' financial conflicts of interest in clinical studies involving humans. Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) requested the investigation because of concerns that researchers or institutions were becoming too focused on financial rewards. Frist is a physician.
The report said the universities kept information about research activities and financial interests in different offices and in different formats, "making it a challenge to ensure that conflicts of interest were appropriately managed and not overlooked.'' Officials at some of the universities told the GAO that they were beginning to develop a central database for financial information.
