Dr. Young,

This is OUTSTANDING!! A big congratulations! California and NJ are rocking the boat (if Bush is in the boat too, take away his life jacket)

If the link doesn't work for you, go to:

http://www.nytimes.com/

and search on "stem cell" and "today's news".

I'd post it here but we aren't suppose to do that.

Mr. McGreevey's plan calls for $50 million over five years, including both state and private funds, for the institute, which would be built in New Brunswick.

Dr. Wise Young, chairman of cell biology and neuroscience at Rutgers and an author of the governor's plan, said he and other researchers hoped to recruit about a dozen of "the best stem cell scientists in the world," which he estimated would require about $25 million. "Everybody understands that because of current federal restrictions on stem cell funding, if you don't put money behind it, it's not going to change very much," Dr. Young said.

The NY Times requires you to register. You can get around the registration if you click on the link from Google news.

California has a lead in research talent and private funds, having attracted both when it enacted its stem cell research legislation in 2002

Several states are scrambling to become centers for biotechnology companies and university researchers in stem cell research. Many expect that it will eventually transform medicine.

In California, a ballot initiative now under way would raise $3 billion over 10 years for stem cell research.

This is awesome! Dr. Young rocks.

Is the $6.5Million a one-time lump sum or is there some provision for annual funding too?

It would be great if other scientists/researchers considered your accomplishments before criticizing the amount of time you spend on this site. Thank you for your tireless efforts.
