One bit of good news to come out of the economic crisis: the stimulus bill’s $10.4 billion for biomedical and behavioral research, to be distributed through the National Institutes of Health.

The infusion of funds comes not a moment too soon: federal government funding for basic research has been essentially flat since 2005, a circumstance that has caused many a promising young researcher to seek work elsewhere.

At least $200 million will go to researchers around the country to “jumpstart” two-year projects on high priority topics.

The National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, under the new leadership of microbiologist Linda Birnbaum, plans to channel stimulus funds to a several areas identified by many researchers as urgent. Among them:
