Stanford failed to disclose funding for research using fetal tissue in mice, group alleges in NIH complaint
Fox News
A nonprofit group has filed a federal complaint alleging that Stanford University failed to disclose funding for research involving human fetal tissue and animals.
Without specifying the number of federal dollars involved, WCW alleges the university violated a law known as the Stevens Amendment. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) states the amendment requires press releases and other announcements to "the percentage and dollar amount of the total costs of the program or project funded with federal money." The complaint filed with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) argues that Stanford Medical School's news center failed, as a whole, to report these amounts. When asked about the press releases, the school told Fox News it only specifies dollar amounts in stories about the grants themselves.More Related News
