Bush Boosts Budget For Bioterrorism Research and Defense
Filed in archive Corporate and Industrial News , Other Biotechnology News by ruth on February 9, 2006
There is a healthy discussion on the FuturePundit blog regarding Bush administration's medical research budget freeze.

Where is the Federal money getting channeled to? Bio-defense reasearch.

Biowarfare and Terrorism


New England's security and defense sector would reap billions of dollars under President Bush's latest budget proposal, while the region's biotechnology industry would benefit from an infusion of federal research dollars, according to administration documents and local industry officials.


The National Institutes of Health's proposed $28.4 billion budget would include $1.9 billion for bio-defense research, including $160 million for advanced development of medical countermeasures against bio-terrorism, according to the documents.


Local officials are already excited with the pending infusion of funds. Locals don't seem to be too elated, however, at having Level 4 federal biodefense laboratories operating in their midst.
