The National Institutes of Health awarded the grant to the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, a partnership among Indiana University, Purdue University and University of Notre Dame.
Fred Cate, IU’s vice president for research, informed federal officials that the research group had “a pattern of non-compliance” and had been warned several times against using expired materials.
Five of the top 10 research studies that received the most NIH funding at the medical school were for Alzheimer’s disease or brain aging, one of the school’s top priorities.
