Without any doubt, the facts will prove that Dr. Fauci has broken the rules, Dr. Fauci has violated our trust and Dr. Fauci has compromised the most fundamental principles of scientific ethics and integrity.

Dear Mr. Love: Thank you for your recommendations on how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) could interact with the World Health Organization (WHO) to provide it with commercial development rights to NIH-owned and -funded health care patents. As we are both aware, the licensing of Government inventions has received much attention in recent months from Members of Congress, patient advocacy groups, representatives of industry and the press. The public debate has been galvanized by concerns about the AIDS crisis in developing countries and the role of anti-AIDS therapeutic drugs in addressing that crisis. This proposal, if implemented, would have powerful repercussions on the current framework for drug development arising from federally supported basic research. I am concerned that your proposal that the NIH employ its "Government use" license authorities to grant WHO standing authority to contract for the production of Government-supported inventions so as to make anti-AIDS drugs available for less cost than offered by pharmaceutical manufacturers would put the current system at risk without necessarily resulting in greater accessibility to these drugs. I am also troubled by the implications of the NIH intervening on behalf of sovereign foreign governments in a situation in which many of those governments have the authority to achieve the same result and in which U.S. intervention on this matter has not been requested.

AHRP is a national network of lay people and professionals dedicated to advancing responsible and ethical medical research practices, to ensure that the human rights, dignity and welfare of human subjects are protected, and to minimize the risks associated with such endeavors. Will NIH Ban on Consulting Deals with Drug Firms Set an Ethical Example? LAT / NYT Wed, 2 Feb 2005 The Los Angeles Times, whose investigative reports about conflicts of interest at the National Institutes of Health, shook the foundations of NIH by prying open the vaults that contained secret deals between NIH scientists and the drug and biotech industry, resulted in a ban on all financial ties between NIH staff and the drug and biotech industry. Today the LAT reports that NIH director Dr. Elias Zerhouni "suggested that the seeds of the NIH's difficulties with conflict of interest were sown in 1995, when then-agency Director Harold E. Varmus quietly lifted a range of restrictions on moonlighting in the industry. Varmus allowed all NIH employees - including institute and center directors - to enter into deals with drug companies and to accept stock and stock options as compensation." Given Dr. Zerhouni's year long resistence to ending conflicts of interest at the NIH - as he derided calls for complete bans as "ivory tower" proposals "that flew in the face of the agency's need to work toward cures" - both he and Dr. Varmus reflect the same culture. That culture of self-interest and entitlement contrasts sharply with the cultural climate in medical research when the polio vaccine was developed.

Ganem, M.D. While other kids' parents were reading them tales of Peter Rabbit and Robinson Crusoe, Don Ganem's father read bedside stories to him from the Encyclopaedia Britannica . "I discovered the joy of knowing things at a fairly early age," says Ganem. "Especially things other people didn't know. So I developed an addiction to facts. And if you're brought up with a fact addiction, science is a natural choice for a career." Still, it wasn't always clear that Ganem was headed for a career in biomedical research. In eighth grade, for example, he got an F in algebra because "I was holding hands with a girl in class," he says. "I wasn't paying very much attention to y=mx+b." In high school biology, however, he learned that researchers were figuring out how specific molecules perform critical jobs inside cells, and slowly his interests began to veer in that direction. "To think you could understand life at that level was quite mesmerizing," he adds. Diseases first captured Ganem's attention when he read The Microbe Hunters , Paul de Kruif's book about 18th and 19th-century medical scientists who tracked epidemics to their microbial origins. Impressed by the acumen and ingenuity these men demonstrated as they met immense challenges without the benefit of modern tools, Ganem quickly adopted these medical scientists as his heroes. During his senior year of high school, his parents gave him an 800-page medical microbiology text for Christmas. Undaunted by its length, Ganem looked on this tome as a fantastic treat. "The idea that there was that much to know I found really cool," he says. "This seemed like a field you could really sink your teeth into."

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
The scientific publishing system is undergoing many small changes and several major transformations by relying increasingly upon digital media and the Internet. One major development was the creation of an electronic repository of technical reports (called e-prints) for some physics and mathematics fields, operated by the U.S. Department of Defenses’ Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). This repository, ArXiv.org, does not charge authors or readers for using it. Authors decide when to post their articles, and most of the posted articles are not peer-reviewed before they are posted (although the vast majority are eventually published in peer-reviewed journals or peer-reviewed conference proceedings). ArXiv.org was initiated in 1991, by April 5, 1998, 72,497 articles were posted on ArXiv.org [1]. The ArXiv.org model has been so successful that some observers suggest that scientists in every field should immediately adopt it (Harnad, 1999) One scientific field currently venturing into online scholarly publishing is biomedicine. As early as 1995 (Laporte, et al.), observers forecast the imminent “death of biomedical journals” and their replacement with electronically accessible biomedical information servers. Ongoing problems made this “electronic revolution” in biomedical publishing seem inevitable: large lag times between the submission and eventual publication of articles in biomedical journals frustrated researchers. The already high costs of printing, purchasing, and archiving traditional paper biomedical journals were rising well above the rate of inflation. Finally, many researchers felt that the limited range of publications accepted by major biomedical journals was stifling innovative research. Traditional biomedical journals have been described as a “19th Century Compromise” or a “Faustian bargain,” violating the primary goals of biomedical research rather than supporting them (Markovitz, 1998).

San Francisco, CA, December 17, 2002 The Public Library of Science (PLoS), a non-profit, international grass-roots organization of scientists, announced today that it is launching a new scientific publishing venture that will make the published results of scientific research more accessible and useful to scientists, physicians and the public. This new effort is backed by a five-year, $9 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and by an important policy decision from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The PLoS initiative has been led by Dr. Harold E. Varmus, president of the Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, former director of the National Institutes of Health and 1989 Nobel Laureate; Dr. Patrick O. Brown of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Stanford University; and Dr. Michael B. Eisen of Lawrence Orlando Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley. PLoS will publish two new journals - PLoS Biology and PLoS Medicine. The senior editorial board of the new journals is an international group of scientific luminaries (see list below). The PLoS journals will retain all of the important features of scientific journals, including rigorous peer-review and high editorial standards, but will use a new business model in which the costs of these services are recovered by modest fees on each published paper. This new model will allow PLoS to make all published works immediately available online, with no charges for access or restrictions on subsequent redistribution or use.

Varmus, Tsongas speak at Whitehead dedication
October 2, 1996 The new wing of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research was formally dedicated this week at a ceremony that featured NIH Director and Nobel laureate Harold E. Varmus and former Senator Paul E. Tsongas, chairman of the board for Whitehead. "This new facility, located at the heart of the biotechnology enterprise in Massachusetts, will allow Whitehead scientists to accelerate programs in cancer research, human genetics, AIDS and TB research, and basic developmental biology," said Mr. Tsongas. "Whitehead researchers are exploring the origins of disease at the molecular level and creating entirely new strategies for developing drugs and vaccines. They are laying the foundation for medicine in the 21st century." In his keynote address, Dr. Varmus outlined the reasons behind the Whitehead's success: "the strong linkage to MIT, a place that offers not only prestigious and wonderful students, but access to many disciplines-computer science, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, and physics-that are increasingly important for biomedical research. Second, the Institute's starting lineup of major investigators, people with both enthusiasm and prowess. Third, the inspiration it received at its inception from Jack Whitehead's generosity and from David Baltimore's leadership, and has received thereafter from its many advisors and of course, the current director, Gerry Fink.

Harvard commencement address by NIH Director Harold Varmus
NIH Director Harold Varmus gave the commencement address at Harvard University earlier this year. (He received a M.A. in English literature from Harvard in 1962.) His commencement address presents an engaging perspective on his early career, the role that NIH played in his scientific research, and his thoughts on the pace of progress in medical research. An excerpt from his Harvard commencement address follows: I too had trouble settling on a career. While my fellow pre-meds worked late in their labs, I was editing the Amherst College paper and writing about Charles Dickens. In a prolonged adolescence as a Harvard graduate student, I read Beowulf, Shakespeare, and Sir Thomas Browne, and listened to Bill Alfred, Harry Levin, and Anne Ferry. Finally I went to medical school - in part, because someone once told Gertrude Stein that it "opened all doors," in part because medical students seemed more eager than I was to get out of bed in the morning. Like many physician-scientists of my generation, I learned to do and to love research while working at the National Institutes of Health, the Federal agency that supports most of the basic medical research in this country. I arrived at the NIH as a twenty-eight year-old doctor seeking two things: the credentials to become a medical school professor and an alternative to service in Vietnam. Then, one day some months later, I was abruptly transformed into a committed scientist, when a method I was developing to detect expression of a gene suddenly worked. The technique was not especially novel, and the questions I was asking were of interest only to a few people in the world. But, at that moment, I knew the intoxicating power of measurement and the sweet anticipation of my own results.

Varmus Presents His E-biomed Proposal to FASEB’s Publications Committee
On June 2, NIH Director Harold Varmus spoke to the FASEB Publications and Communications Committee about his "E-biomed" proposal, a plan to develop a central, comprehensive, publicly accessible on-line database of scientific articles. Accompanied by David Lipman, head of the National Center for Biotechnology Information and contributing author of the E-biomed proposal, Varmus reviewed the details of the proposal and answered a variety of questions posed by the members of FASEB’s Publications Com-mittee. He began his discussion by placing it in the context of the on-going revolution in publishing, suggesting that this was time for action by those who wanted to shape it. According to Varmus’ plan, E-BIOMED: A Proposal for Electronic Publications in the Biomedical Sciences , "E-biomed is intended to be a new and more effective means to organize, disseminate, use, and store the information and ideas generated by the international biomedical research community. We envision a system for electronic publication in which existing journals, newly created journals, and an essentially unrestricted collection of scientific reports can be accessed and searched with great ease and without cost by anyone connected to the Internet. In a sense, what we are proposing is an electronic public library of medicine and other life sciences. Journals that participate in the E-biomed system would be expected to exercise expert review and editing functions. The NIH, in conjunction with other organizations, would contribute technical expertise, participate in the development of the governance of the system, and help with financial support."
