'''Administrative Problems'''
The MIPF creates a board of trustees that has the responsibility of awarding prize payments. Though the board of 13 members is designed to be unbiased, it is unlikely that they will not be subject to political and external pressures, leading to a distorted allocation of resources. An appropriate screening mechanism to confirm the reported benefits of the invented drug has not been designed either and may be needed to preserve the safety of the consumer.
