The article by Freishtat and colleagues (1), published in the June 2011 issue of AJRCMB, contains errors in the disclosures and grants sections.
Dr. Eric P. Hoffman was incorrectly reported to have had various relationships with commercial entities; in fact, he had none, but had received a sponsored grant from the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Dinesh K. Pillai (incorrectly listed as “P.D.”) had received a sponsored grant from the NIH of more than $100,001; the statement incorrectly states the amount of the grant as being more than $75,000.
Finally, two grants were omitted from a footnote. The complete footnote should have read as follows (omissions are in boldface):
