What's missing?
Based on Professor Bianco's REPA in the previous screen, there is missing information. The following list includes the types of questions that you would want Professor Bianco to answer.
- Professor Bianco didn't separate financial and business information for each company. Therefore, it is difficult to ascertain which 'yes' answers on the REPA correspond to which company. This lack of clarity leads to the following questions:
- Does Professor Bianco hold 5% or greater ownership in Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson (J&J), or both?
- Is the value of his stock in either or both companies equal to or greater than $10,000?
- Does he receive $10,000 annually or more in consulting income from either one of the above mentioned companies?
- Is the combined value of his stock and consulting income equal to or greater than $10,000 in either or both companies?
- What are his duties as a consultant for both Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson? Is his work as a consultant unrelated to his University of Minnesota responsibilities?
- What kind of imaging software does his company make?
- What are the roles of the students? (Which study or studies are involved? Are they working on J&J or Pfizer sponsored studies?)
- What are Professor Bianco's responsibilities to students?
- Are the students aware of Professor Bianco's financial and business interests in the sponsor(s)?
- To whom will the students go if they have concerns about the impartiality of their assignments on the studies?
- How might he plan to manage potential conflicts of interest?
