TR>> Well you're wrong. The federal government in America gave out over

BF>>Per year?


TR> Per year.


BF>>On R&D alone? I sincerely doubt that. Links please.


TR> You got a computer? You got InterNet service? You know how to type?


TR> The info is out there. I'm not your research assistant.


JD>You make the claim, you should be willing to cite where you got the
JD>information and provide a link to it.


JD>It is up to you to prove your point.


It isn't up to me to prove anything.


I don't say things without there being anything to back it up.


Usually, I would just tell you to go pound salt, and do your own
research. The info is out there.


But....just this once....for `your' benefit.....


Here's an article from the *Huffington* Post!


Now....everybody just KNOWS how `conservative-leaning' the Huffington Post
is.


Read carefully:


('www.huffingtonpost.com') +


The federal government gave out more than $40 billion for research
and development (R&D) to universities across the country in fiscal 2011.


Universities depend heavily on federal funding, with many of the top
programs relying on the government for more than 60% of their R&D budgets. As
a result, many research program directors fear that the federal cuts promoted
by the sequester will hurt future funding.


A few of the top schools received a disproportionate share of the government's
spending on grants for R&D. Of all 896 schools that received federal money for
R&D, approximately 20% of those funds went to just 10 universities, according
to a study by the National Science Foundation. Johns Hopkins University alone
received nearly $1.9 billion from the federal government in 2011, more than
twice as much as any other university in the country. Based on data from the
National Science Foundation, these are the 10 universities receiving the most
federal funding for research and development.
