Description

Report on a congressional investigation of claims that the National Footballl League (NFL) attempted to influence decisions on brain injury research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Evidence supported the allegations that the NFL inappropriately attempted to influence the selection of NIH research applicants funded by the NFLäó»s $30 million donation to NIH. NIHäó»s Policy Manual states that donors to the NIH cannot influence the agencyäó»s grant decision-making process.Despite the NFLäó»s attempts to influence the selection of research applicants, the integrity of the peer review process was preserved and funding decisions were made solely based on merit. This report concludes with findings on the need to clarify the roles of donors, FNIH, and NIH as to future donations to NIH research and to limit inappropriate efforts by donors to influence NIH funding decisions. This is a print on demand report.
