Project 1R21DE026700-01 funded by the National Institutes of Health is titled “MOLECULAR AND ANTIBODY DETECTION OF ZIKA VIRUS IN SALIVA AT THE POINT OF CARE”. It will cost about $241,000 over 2 years. Trump has spent Apparently WE have already spent 40 times that amount on Trump’s trips to Florida. In 2 months.
But its the NIH budget he wants to slash.
Look for yourself where NIH grant money goes here.
Contact your Senators and Representatives and show your concern about what Trump’s moronic budget cuts might do to scientific research in the United States
About SubOptimist
I am an Associate Professor in the Science Department at Georgia Perimeter College, Clarkston. I teach introductory biology courses at both the majors and non-majors level in addition to microbiology. Previous to that I spent 7 years as a postdoctoral researcher on different viruses. While I don't miss being on the "grant treadmill", I think better when I write and miss writing up data for papers and grants; this blog helps me with that a little. And sometimes my kids' insanely funny and cute antics need to be shared with the world. Any view expressed in this blog is that of me personally and not Georgia Perimeter College or the GPC Clarkston Science Department.
