billion, which after spending cuts and sequestration is where nih was 12 years ago. what does that mean for research grands? traditionally we could fund about a third of those. now we re down to funding about a sixth of those. that means that half of the science is left on the table at a time of such great problem. collins knows about scientific breakthroughs. he led the human genome project that in 2003 announced it mapped the whole sequence of dna. inside each cell is a instruction book of the code. if you know the rrchts genome for that person and look at their cancer, you can see what happened, oh, that t should have been a c. now that gene is overactive. francis collins is not your typical scientist. he plays a go ahead tar.

recover. what is a lazarus opportunity? they get into a clinical try to try and brand new therapeutic and have a dramatic response. all that is the tip of the iceberg for nih which gives out 90% of its funds and research grants to outside programs. which brings us to money. the nih budget this year is $31 billion, which after spending cuts is sequestration is where nih was 12 years ago. what does that mean for research grants? traditionally we could fund about a third of those. now we re down to funding about a sixth of those. that means about half of the science is left on the table at a time of such great promise. collins knows about scientific breakthroughs. he announced they had mapped full sequence of dna. inside each cell of your body is this instruction book.
