U.S. National Institutes of Health awards more than 12,000 research grants totaling $5 billion
Colleagues,
As reported by the various local Business Journals... Since Sept. 1, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded more than 12,000 research grants totaling $5 billion, the largest infusion into biomedical research ever, as a result of an increase in federal budgets as part of the "Stimulus" funding...
... This is having some dramatic local impacts. For one example, lets look at data shared with us by MedTech-IQ member, Jay Srini, on activity in Pennsylvania, particularly Pittsburgh ...
... The University of Pennsylvania received 250 grants compared to 208 at University of Pittsburgh, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia ranked third with 44 grants. Across town, the Allegheny Singer Research Institute, the research arm of the West Penn Allegheny Health System, received six grants. Carnegie Mellon University received 16 grants, Duquesne University, six...
... Pittsburgh, which recently hosted the G-20 Summit, has emerged as a widely acknowledged leader in biomedical research and "translation" ...
It has become a hub of life science start-ups such as:
* Blue Belt Technologies Inc.
* ClearCount Medical Solutions
* Cohera Medical Inc.
* invivodata Inc.
* Net Health Systems Inc.
* Starr Life Sciences Corp.
* Wright Therapy Products Inc.
* ZOLL Lifecor Corp.
It's "Triple Helix" - Academic, Industry & Government - dynamism has been an important factor.. For example, Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science (SCS) has added computational biology to its educational mix by incorporating the Ray and Stephanie Lane Center for Computational Biology as a new academic unit... The interdisciplinary research center ... will join the Computer Science Department, Robotics Institute, Human-Computer Interaction Institute, Machine Learning Department, Language Technologies Institute and the Institute for Software Research as the school's seventh academic unit...
ENJOY!
