Francis Collins appeared on C-SPAN's Newsmakers to discuss his priorities for NIH, which include translating basic genetic findings into the clinic, a global health agenda, and developing a scientific basis for healthcare reform. Collins goes on to discuss how NIH can foster more research in comparative effectiveness, which he says really doesn't have any tension with personalized medicine, the recently-approved stem cells lines, and the potential for "harmony between science and faith." He later touches on ghostwriting and says that grantees and institution "need to be more forthcoming about disclosure."
