Rita: You may well have already received this info; if so, forgive the repetition! To the best of my knowledge, only the AIDS community conducted this kind of research and that was several years ago when they first became so active in advocacy. I got this from one of the legislative aides on the Hill.

Has the funding for any other disease been broken down into "non-disease related funding" vs. "disease related funding"? My point in asking this question is to verify the fact that we have a valid argument when we question the NIH $$$'s. Is this a typical breakdown of basic research vs. applied research that is used at NIH? I don't enjoy reposting the same question multiple times, but I do think this issue needs an explanation as it applies to other disease related research programs. Rita Weeks Lincoln, NE
