Adam Andrzejewski Founder of Open the Books Discussing the top Royalty Receiver At The National Institutes Of Health (NIH) 5:08PM Monday, June 13, 2022 on KWRO
Dr. Gallo left NIH in 1995. However, between 2010 and 2016, he ranked #1 of 1,805 scientists in the number of royalty payments collected.
Over 1,800 current and former scientists received up to $400 million from third-party paid royalties between 2010 and 2020 (think: pharmaceutical companies) for inventions developed while working for the National Institute of Health (NIH).
The royalty payment complex at NIH hasn’t had sunshine since 2005. This year, though, NIH was forced to produce these summary numbers under judicially mandated production after our organization filed a federal lawsuit in October 2021.
So far, we’ve received 1,500 pages of the 3,000 pages resulting in 27,244 line-by-line royalty payments for $197 million in payments. Therefore, we can accurately estimate the size and scope of the NIH royalty payment program during the last decade.
Within 36-hours of our breaking investigation, during the NIH appropriations budget hearing in May 2022, current NIH acting director Lawrence Tabak admitted royalty payments have the “appearance of a conflict of interest.”
The royalty payments are legal, so why is NIH acting like they are a state secret (they are not!)?
