The conflict of interest (CoI) issue that has
so absorbed NIH since a series of news articles brought concerns

Elias Zerhouni. The agency will emerge balanced, trustworthy and

in an interview May 12.
"I'm very optimistic that our approach is going to lead to a much more fair and balanced set
of rules," he said.

NIH’ers staff science teacher convention
in Dallas. |
This year, NIH exhibitors did in unity what

At the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) 2005 national
conference in Dallas, 12 ICs and associate organizations, including
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, clustered their
exhibits at the Dallas Convention Center to create an NIH aisle. At events past, IC booths were scattered,
making it nearly impossible to convey the fact that the "I" in NIH

the more than 10,000 teachers at NSTA a new perspective on the nation's
leading medical research agency.
