2009

2008 and earlier


Pharmaceutical and medical device companies have many different ways to fund medical professionals and academic, public health and patient organizations, including direct grants or contracts, funding through company controlled foundations or trade associations, or by using consulting, public relations or law firms, or other intermediaries. Many medical professionals are also paid to participate in various research and educational activities, including some that are thinly disguised marketing efforts. The following are examples of reports that some companies now make for direct grants to some non-profit groups.
