In Massachusetts, nine NIH-funded research projects in this year's $10 million club

So far for 2012, the NIH has approved 3,810 grants in Massachusetts – some for new projects, others for familiar, ongoing research centers. The big money is going to genetics, HIV/AIDS and biodefense. Few topped $10 million –according to NIH, the average award amount nationwide was $44,642 for 2011. Among the group – genomics superstar Eric Lander, whose name came up during the recent presidential search at MIT and Daniel Kuritzkes at the Brigham, who got a standing ovation at the recent AIDS conference when he annouced findings on two more AIDS patinets who became virus-free after bone marrow transplants.  Also note that Harvard Med School dean Jeffrey Flier is listed as the PI on the grant to the troubled primate research center.  Read more

Who’s getting grants in Boston as NIH cuts research funding?

Posted by Tinker Ready | Categories: Boston Research, funding, Uncategorized

When Barbara Alving, the former head of National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), spoke at Harvard last spring, an audience member complained that even Harvard’s superstar scientists couldn’t get NIH grants.
