The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is certain to set off a scramble among scientists throughout the country – including those at the state’s two medical schools and other universities – with promising projects in need of funding.
The emergency spending bill includes $8.2 billion for research and $1.8 billion for construction projects and equipment.
That could mean tens of millions of dollars for the Medical College and the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Medicine and Public Health.
