Another Great Cancer Breakthrough

Just not from NIH...

I guess they could be working on a grant from NIH though, they do a lot of those. But the amount of research within NIH is vast, and besides the Human Genome project, I don't hear a lot of positive results out of them.

Looking at the NCI budget (est) for 2009, they have over $3B going to research grants and that leaves over $1.5B to use right there at NIH, so what are they doing with all that??

Maybe NIH should stop doing research and just do grants to people outside the INSANE burocracy and political foolishness that goes on inside the place? Congress, do you hear me??
