The Center for Medicine in the Public Interest (CMPI) claims to be a ‘nonprofit, non-partisan organization promoting innovative solutions that advance medical progress, reduce health disparities, extend life and make health care more affordable, preventive and patient-centered.’ It offers ‘the public, policymakers and the media a reliable source of independent scientific analysis on issues ranging from personalized medicine, food and drug safety, health care reform and comparative effectiveness. [1] The director of the Stockholm Network (SN), Helen Disney, used to sit on its now defunct advisory board along with representatives from two think tanks who are part of the SN: International Policy Network (Julian Morris) and Centre for the New Europe (Stephen Pollard).[2]

Funding and disambiguation

The Center for Medicine in the Public Interest is not to be confused with the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). The two are completely unrelated, despite their very similar sounding names.

They also have completely different funding policies. CSPI says it does not accept funding from corporations or government; instead it is funded by individual donors, foundation grants, and subscriptions to its newsletter.[3]

CMPI, on the other hand, stated on a 2005 version of its website that it accepted corporate funding:

Its contributors consist primarily of foundations and individuals, with some corporate support, as described in its 2004 annual report.
PRI solicits and accepts donations from corporations in the health care industry. In order to avoid conflicts of interest, PRI staff and external authors adhere to a Code of Practice.[4]
