NRS Medical Advisory Board Conflict of Interest and How much do Rosaceans Donate to the NRS?

One paragraph in the Fall 1999 issues which says,

"Since the National Rosacea Society initiated its new research grants program, nearly 20,000 Rosacea Review readers have contributed more than $260,000 to support research, and a $100,000 corporate donation was made by Galderma Laboratories..." source >

So a significant amount of readers of the Rosacea Review letter are supporting the NRS. That is astonishing, now isn't it? This same issue says the Dr. Dahl was awarded a grant of $21,299 to study 'whether the warmer skin of rosacea patients may play a role in causing the bumps and pimples of rosacea.' He was serving on the NRS Medical Advisory Board in 1998 according to the summer issue of 1998 >

It is very probable that Dr. Dahl was still serving on the NRS MAB when he awarded himself a grant in 1999. He is still serving on the current NRS MAB now.

According to the NRS website the past issues date back to 1996 while the guidestar.org only goes back to 1998 for Form 990. The NRS according to the quote above began the research program in the summer of 1998 and according to the fall '99 issue had collected in about a year $260K from individual rosaceans. They also report $100K from Galderma. However, the Form 990 shows that year to be a banner year for the NRS and reported a total revenue of $1,148,375.

So the Rosacea Review quote (fall '99) doesn't line up completely with the form 990 for 1998 since there is $788K not accounted for. Who donated $788K ? The mysterious NRS.

It is possible that $788K in 1998 came from other pharmaceutical companies. If it did come from rosaceans the NRS would have stated that in the fall '99 issue but it only said $260K came from Rosacea Review Readers.

So when it comes to the banner year of '98, the highest amount the NRS ever collected in a single year, 22% of the revenue that year came from 'Rosacea Review Readers.' Where did the rest come from? We know that $100K came from Galderma and that's all we know.
