Grants, politics, and the NIH

Article Abstract:

Political action groups should not be allowed to determine which research grant applications submitted to the US National Institutes of Health are approved and funded. The Traditional Values Coalition asked Congress to investigate 200 research grants because the group believes these projects should not receive federal funding. Many were social sciences research projects to find ways to prevent HIV infection by examining people's sexual behavior.

Article Abstract:

The success of organ transplantation owes much to improvements in the immunosuppressive regimens that prevent allograft rejection. The potent immunosuppresive drugs that are presently in general use increase susceptibility to infection and cancer, and could have adverse effects not directly related to immnosuppresion.
