The World Bank’s New Chief

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine continued to accept donations from some Sackler family members, particularly those connected to Purdue Pharma, even as the country's drug crisis worsened. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, a renowned advisory organization, have been enlisted by the White House and Congress over the past ten years to help define the federal response to the opioid crisis, whether by convening expert panels or giving policy recommendations and studies.

However, National Academies o remained silent about one matter: their choice to accept around $19 million in donations from the Sackler family, who own Purdue Pharma, the company that produces the drug OxyContin, which is known for causing the opioid epidemic.The narcotic Thousands of overdose deaths have resulted from the disaster, which has also given rise to litigation and pushed other institutions to publicly separate themselves from Sackler money or disclose possible conflicts of interest resulting from connections to Purdue Pharma. The National Academies continues to advise the government on opioids while mostly avoiding such scrutiny.

Michael Von Korff said, "I didn't know they were collecting private money. "Taking money from drug company executives and then publishing reports on opioids seems insane. I'm very surprised. The National Academies has not done a public review to see if the World Health Organization's two publications on opioid policy had merit, in contrast to the WHO, which was accused of being controlled by Purdue and eventually withdrew them. Despite publishing two significant findings that had a significant impact on national opioid policy, Sackler funding affected its decision-making.

One of those studies, published in 2011 and since completely debunked, estimated that 100 million Americans experienced chronic pain, but this figure turned out to be greatly exaggerated. However, it provided pharmaceutical companies with yet

appeared in 2016, some National Academies received a $10 million contribution from the organization had been asked by the F.D.A. to set up a committee to provide fresh recommendations about opioids. However, one senator objected to some of the Academy-selected members, claiming they had "substantial ties" to Purdue and other drug producers. Four persons were taken off the panel before work started. Abraham Lincoln established the National Academies as a voluntary organization in 1863 to act as the country's impartial science and medical adviser. Each year, members of the Academies are chosen, which is a careerdefining honor for scientists and physicians. The advisory board has received fire recently, though, for failing to disclose conflicts of interest in papers on biotechnology, genetically modified food, and pharmaceutical pricing.

According to Lisa Bero, head scientist at the University of Colorado Center for Bioethics and Humanities, the Academies

Receiving millions from the Sackler family while providing advice to the federal government on pain policy "would be considered a conflict of interest under almost any con interest policy I've ever seen," Dr. Bero said.

The Sackler family's business practices and Purdue's extravagant spending have been the subject of probes by lawmakers and others, amplifying the voices of doctors and medical organizations that want more opioid prescriptions despite an increase in overdose deaths.

However, the National Academies haven't attracted much notice from the general public save from a 2019 piece in a medical publication. Following internal discussions, it covertly dropped the Sackler name from conferences and awards the family had previously contributed to support. The National Academies' spokesman, Megan Lowry, stated in a statement that The gifts from the Sackler family "were never used to support any advisory activities on the use of opioids or on efforts to counter the opioid crisis." Due to legal limitations and "donor unwillingness to accept returned funds," Ms. Lowry continued, the

But Dr. Gates noted that returning the funds "was more difficult.” compared to the string theory I learned. The National Academies derives 70% of its income from the federal government, with the remaining 20% coming from its endowment and private benefactors, such as businesses that market prescription medications, chemicals, and various fossil fuels. According to Academy treasurer reports, the Sackler family members who were most closely involved in running Purdue Pharma made their first contributions to the National Academies in 2008 when Dr. Raymond Sackler, his wife Beverly Sackler, and the couple's foundation started giving. Dr. Sackler passed away in 2017 and Ms. Sackler in 2019.The Raymond and Beverly Sackler branch of the family gave $13.1 million,

According to sources, donations from Dame Jillian Sackler, whose husband Arthur passed away before OxyContin was commercially available, started in 2000 and eventually reached $5 million by 2017. These gifts, according to the treasurer's records, supported a number of scientific gatherings.

The donations made the Sackler contributors eligible for membership in the organization's Lincoln Society, which is made up of generous individuals who increase the Academies' "influence as counselors to the

Sackler donations increased. The

Purdue lobbyist Burt Rosen's organization, the Pain Care Forum, worked to get laws passed in 2007 and 2009 that included a call for a National Academies report to "increase the recognition of pain as a significant public health problem."

Mr. Rosen organized the Pain Care Forum at a 10 p.m. meeting shortly after the measure became a law in 2010 to concentrate on "meetings with the Institute of "Membership on I.O.M. Committee" and "Medicine," the old names for the National Academy of Medicine.

The National Academies formed the group that would write its 2011 opioids study at the same time. This report included an estimate that

Conflicts of interest involving committee members were not disclosed in the report, nor did It makes the Sackler funds public. The National Academies did not publish the conflict disclosures of its members, according to a spokesman.
