Hopkins has an institutional conflicting of interest, as described below.
“Healthways, Inc. developed the website for both interventions used in the POWER
trial in collaboration with Johns Hopkins investigators and provided coaching
effort for the transtelephonic intervention. Healthways also provided some research
funding to supplement NIH support. Under an institutional consulting agreement with
Healthways, the Johns Hopkins University received fees for advisory services to
Healthways during the POWER trial. Faculty members who participated in the
consulting services received a portion of the University fees. On the basis of
POWER trial results, Healthways developed and is commercializing a weight-loss
intervention program called Innergy. Under an agreement with Healthways, Johns
Hopkins faculty monitor the Innergy program’s content and process (staffing,
training, and counseling) and outcomes (engagement and weight loss ) to ensure
consistency with the corresponding arm of the POWER Trial. Johns Hopkins receives
fees for these services and faculty members who participate in the consulting
