    • Abstract:
      A director at the state's Office of Mental Health paid $325,000 in settlement funds for allegedly using state lab staff resources to apply for a prestigious prize in Alzheimer's disease research. Dr. Ralph Nixon, the director of the Nathan Kline Institute, instructed state lab staff to assist in his proposal, which ultimately won him $500,000 and a keynote speech. The settlement is one of the largest ever secured by the state's Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government, highlighting the importance of upholding ethics laws in New York.
