I have received $30,000 in data management support as well as travel, meals and accommodations to semi-annual IELCAP meetings. Last week an article in the New York Times revealed that IELCAP had accepted a gift of $2.4 million from a foundation created largely by the Vector Corporation, parent company to Liggett Tobacco in 2000 and subsequently another $1.1 million. I was not aware of this tobacco industry funding before the Times article. This money comprises approximately 6% of IELCAP funding. * Corresponding author.
