아래 그림은 미국의 납세-소비자권리재단(FTCR)이 캘리포니아주의 제안-71 운영기관인 CIRM에 보내는 서한입니다.

CHA RMI (차병원의 미국현지 줄기세포연구기관)가 캘리포니아주 제안-71 프로그램에 의거 연구비를 지원받은데 대해 문제를 제기하고 조사를 촉구하고 있습니다.

거동이 불편한 환자를 'DUMPING'한 사건, 차병원장 차광렬이 고려대 김모씨의 논문을 도용하여 Fertility & Sterility에 제1저자로 논문을 올린 사건, CHA RMI가 비영리기관이 맞느냐는 의혹 까지 한번에 다 걸었군요.

ps> San Fransisco Chronicle도 이 기사를 다루고 있습니다. 근데 먼젓번 발표는 제안서의 과학적 측면만 고려한 것이고 연구자의 신뢰성, 기관의 비영리성 등의 문제는 심사절차에 포함되어 있는 스탭리뷰를 통해서 체크될 것이며 그 이후에 확정통지가 나간다고 합니다.

Delay is urged on stem cell cloning grant

(..) He said the researchers were judged on scientific merit of their proposals, which in the CHA case was deemed to be "nicely developed" but in some respects "overly ambitious" by a panel of experts, who wound up giving the proposal a winning score of 77 out of a possible 100.

Carlson said that matters such as corporate versus nonprofit status, and researcher credentials, will be examined in the staff review built into the process. "Only when that is completed does a notice of grant award go out," he said.
