Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 https://www.statineffects.com/info/ This observational study was previously partially funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Faculty Scholar Award. Currently, this effort is without funding and relies on volunteer time and kind donations to help cover costs (we do not accept the financial support of drug companies).
