4. In 1995, 34% of HHMI's 286 investigators were engaged in consulting;5 years later, 56% of its 346 investigators are engaged in such activities. (Because HHMI requires prior review and approval of all compensated service for companies, regardless of the level of involvement, these statistics include everything from 1-day seminars to arrangements that provide for up to 36 days per year of consulting, cash compensation, and stock ownership.) A comparable rise in “positive disclosures” has been noted for University of California at San Francisco investigators over the past 5 years [Boyd E. A., , Bero L. A. , JAMA284, 2209 (2000)].
