A New Model for Biomedical Research

Hamilton Moses III, MD; Joseph B. Martin, MD,PhD

JAMA. 2001;285:933-935.

	Since this article does not have an abstract, we have provided the first 150 words of the full text and any section headings.

A spate of recent articles in medical journals,^1-2 pharmaceutical industry publications,³ and the popular press⁴ highlight conflicts of interest among investigators, their institutions, and their patients. These articles have drawn attention to the increasingly complex web of financial relationships between corporate sponsors of research and the investigators who perform laboratory research and clinical trials on their behalf. As Korn has written:

Conflicts of interest are ubiquitous and inevitable in academic life; indeed, in all professional life. The challenge for academic medicine is not to eradicate them, which is fanciful and would be inimical to public policy goals, but to recognize and manage them sensibly and effectively.⁵
