The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has frozen payments to Emory University as part of an investigation into conflicts of interest of Dr. Charles Nemeroff. Nemeroff, an expert on depression, stepped down last week as chairman of the psychiatry department. He is charged with failure to disclose $1.2 million he received from drug companies while engaged in research, a violation of NIH and Emory's own academic procedures. The Atlantic Journal Constitution broke the story after receiving a memo from Emory describing transparency measures they are asking of faculty. Last year the psychiatry department received $22 million from NIH grants, and the monies held up represent three years remaining on a five-year $9.3 million grant.
