News Headlines on July 24, 2008Malawi Research Journal: Blog from Sharon Youmans, PharmD, MPH
The goals of Youmans' research project are to describe how religious groups and traditional healers function together and/or independently in Malawi to help people with HIV/AIDS and to identify any barriers that Malawians living with HIV/AIDS experience in treatment and care. This project is part of a larger research grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health to study numerous aspects of the roles of five religious groups in Malawi in HIV/AIDS prevention and care. It has been operating since 2006.
Malawi is one of Africa's poorest countries. 900,000 of Malawi's 13.6 million adults and children are living with HIV/AIDS. Youmans, with Sally Rankin, RN, PhD, FAAN, professor and chair, department of family health care nursing, UCSF School of Nursing and lead investigator of the larger NIH grant, arrived in Malawi on Monday, July 7, 2008 to begin gathering data for Youmans' research project. This is Youmans' story. Image Credit: Wikimedia Commons Bero Comments on Corporate Funding and Academic Research

Lisa Bero, PhD, UCSF School of Pharmacy faculty member, looks at the potential benefits, risks, and ethical issues of different corporate/academic funding models. She also calls for a research agenda aimed at clarifying the effects of these relationships on research integrity, faculty attitudes, technology transfer, and research productivity. Her comments appear in the June 4, 2008 online version of the Journal of Epidemiology under the title
