NIH has two types of programs: intramural and extramural. they are funded from different "pockets" in the NIH budget. Intramural funds go to projects such as Polymeropoulos et al and their work in identifying and cloning the genetic mutation found in the Contursi kindred. Extramural funds go to everyone else: universities mmost prominently among them.
