Thanks for this link. I want to note the discussion of Biederman at Mass General. Grassley's senate committee found he was taking millions and not reporting it. Not just for ADHD drug companies, but for promoting the diagnosis of bipolar in children as young as 3 and recommending risperdal. His research was funded by the maker of risperdal (can't recall which company at the time).
Another notorious scoundrel is Charles Nemeroff at Emory in Atlanta. Grassley's investigation found that Nemeroff was taking hundreds of thousands from drug companies for trials funded by the NIMH, whose rules specifically prohibited taking money from the companies whose drugs were being studied. He had to fill out forms for the federal money and just lied. Took millions. When an Emory dean confronted him, Nemeroff sent a letter to the Emory president reminding him of what a rainmaker he was and how much research money he brought into the university.
