Academic-industry relationships are common in medical schools, with 60% of department chairs having personal ties. These prevalent relationships highlight the need for active disclosure and management to maintain research integrity.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research
  • Academic-Industry Partnerships
  • Conflict of Interest Management

Background:

  • Institutional academic-industry relationships can create conflicts of interest.
  • Empirical data on managing these relationships are lacking.
  • Policies and practices for managing these relationships require evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey department chairs nationally on academic-industry relationships.
  • To assess the nature, extent, and consequences of these relationships.
  • To inform institutional policy development for managing conflicts of interest.

Main Methods:

  • National survey of department chairs in 125 accredited allopathic medical schools and 15 largest independent teaching hospitals.
  • Data collected between February 2006 and October 2006.

  • Survey focused on types of relationships with industry.

    • Main Results:

    • 67% response rate from 459 department chairs.
    • 60% of chairs had personal relationships with industry (consulting, speaking, board roles).
    • Clinical departments received more resources (equipment, funding, training support) than nonclinical departments.

    Conclusions:

    • Institutional academic-industry relationships are highly prevalent.
    • Active disclosure and management of these relationships are essential.
    • Potential negative impacts on independent research necessitate careful oversight.
