required. Public tax payer funds pay more than their share.

Believe me I used to work in research for NY State and UB. My salary and that of my boss were state paid but the grant paid for some equipment, chemicals,etc. It was usually short term along with other research projects.

A million dollar grant does not go far today.

A grant for $5 million back in the 1980s for five years didn't go far. It was Trauma research through UB at a county hospital. They did the ground breaking research about trauma patients coming into the ICU. They proved your body changes biochemically when under stress within 48 hours. I was one of the state paid workers in the laboratory and ICU.

What good was it today? They send patients home after surgery not caring about the trauma on the body. If you have problems come back?
