AIDS activists fail to block 'reasonable pricing' reform

Article Abstract:

The National Task Force on AIDS Drug Development supports the elimination of the reasonable pricing clause in the National Institute of Health's (NIH) agreements between intramural researchers and the industry. AIDS activists in favor of strengthening the clause are protesting against the task force's plans. Critics are stepping up pressure for the removal of the clause, claiming it to be a hindrance to collaboration between intramural researchers and the industry.
