Description

CASE DESCRIPTION Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), while government employees earning around $200,000, were consulting and serving on private firms' scientific advisory boards. Although such practices were rare before the 1980s, they became increasingly common during the 1990s and into the twenty-first century. These practices raised concerns over perceived, and real, conflicts of interest, when the same firms received grants from (and did research with) the NIH. Defenders of the practice, however, suggested that the development of scientific knowledge was enhanced when research scientists had regular contact with private industry. Federal ethics guidelines did not prohibit federal employees from "moonlighting" in their free time, but did place strict guidelines on such practices. The primary issue in the case is to understand the nature of conflicts of interest, conditions under which "knowledge sharing" can be appropriate, and when such actions can be inappropriate and potentially illegal.
