anthony fauci and former nih director francis collins h.w because these kickbacks could create potential conflicts of interest , watchdog groups believe the payments should be fully disclosed. instead, the nih appears to be withholding the information . in fact, the groupup open the books says nih defines a freedom of information request to give up the data so the group's and one. but even then they say the nihg is slow o walking the information, releasing only partial data and the data that is being released is heavily redacted, making it impossible to know exactly how much each scientist e is getting. so the documents only provide the total number of payments and the totalal dollar amount. for example, between 2009 and 2014 there were twenty two thousand one hundred royalty payments too 17 hundred nih scientists totaling one hundred thirty four million dollars. open the books estimates by twenty twenty the total payments exceeded three hundred fifty million dollars and for the record from 2009 to 2014.he dr. fauci who makes four hundred f

francis collins may in order $200,000 a year got 14 payments. in case you are wondering royalty payments to ni hi really. which begs the question why are they working so hard to keep the information from going public? laura? >> fascinating thank you. now joining me adam ceo and founder of open the books.com. which broke story. dam it was a battle for you even get this information. it is it is all legal. and, no pair appearance conflict, then why? >> well laura has been knock down drag out battle just to get information that we have received lately. so, hirer records shows one we file freedom of information act request eight months ago. and ignore they didn't eresponds to our request then we sued them federal government our lawyers judicial watch then mandated production a receive will redacted documents so this is strategy. from ni hi to use taxpayer money and very expensive taxpayer funded litigation to keep taxpayer in the dark. now acting ni hi director responded to your investigation. watch. >> would you do no conflict where appearance ever

there's actually a lot of scientists who work in the field who are very religious francis collins. who was the head of the nih? it has just become sort of a co-advisor to ostp. um, you know is very very religious has written a bunch of books and is also in favor of using stem cells for research purposes. so if somewhere in the back of your mind, you're thinking i don't this stuff feels a little bit like it it doesn't mesh with what i think about the future again, we would encourage you to keep an open mind and it's more important to have that open mind right now because of some important things that are happening. sars co v2 the virus that causes covid-19 acted as a catalyst for a lot of what we talk about in the book for genetic sequencing. that's like figuring out what the code is and synthesis. that's the printing part that andrew was talking about in effect. it kind of broke us free of our mental models for how to detect a pathogen how to inoculate people just how we think about some of this stuff and that created this flywheel and so there's been significant investment and lot

this is our first hearing in many years without our friend francis collins, and we all wish him well in his new endeavors. as i say every year, a sustained commitment to increasing funding for the nih is a vital step to preserving our status as a world leader in biomedicals research and to finding cures for many diseases burdening our healthcare system. and we know the funding also goes, does far more. several studies have shown funding ator the nih has a multiplier effect contributing to overall u.s. economic growth. like the chairman, the chair, i am proud what this committee has done year after year on a bipartisan basis since 2015. then nih budget has increased every year beyond inflation during that period, regardless of who was president, regardless of which party was in control of the congress. and it shows there are certainly some important things we can work togetherth on and and k will have positive results for the country. and i particularly want to praise my good friend, i make this point a lot, the chairwoman, when i was privileged to be the chair of this subcommittee fo

the nih decision former director francis collins instituted the environment influence on child healthcomes known as the echo program. the echo program made use of existing maternal cohorts which were recruited through the national children's study to address the outcomes of dignity and worth upper and lower airway conditions, obesity and positive health. we are currently in the final year of the seven year program. i would like to have some assurance that the echo program has either met with the congressional directed study or that there is a plan in place to continue and build on the echo research thus far. can you highlight some of the key accomplishment with respect to its observational and interventional research component and what approach have they taken to ensure that the research findings are widely disseminated amongst participants, policymakers and other stakeholders? >> the number of high-impact findings that i could share with you, the first to show disparities across the united states by racial operations in early childhood. this may help disparities. we spoke about parti
