NIH Funding increase...

[Simone]

Just wondering if there has been any news from Francis Collins, or the NIH, as to the allocation of the $2bn extra funding allocation. For me, and I'm sure many others, this is the true test of whether Collins is able to put his money where his mouth is... literally!
What's a reasonable timeframe for expecting information from NIH?

Great questions!

No news on specific monies from Collins- and I agree - it is the true test. I am going to ask Vicky Whittemore - the NINDS liason. I will report back.

Great! Thanks, Cort.
Very interested to hear Vicky's response
