More yuck.
i don't mean to be a pessimist... but, what did anyone expect?? pour gazillions of dollars into somewhere and all the folks who might get a piece of the action arise from the slime.
ReplyDeleteunfortunately, this is where universities are headed. its all about indirect (oops... F&A) costs. and if you get a 'friend' at P&E who will 'take a v.p. to dinner' -- all the better...
I agree in many ways. The slime rises to the top along with the cream. We just need to keep outing the slime ....
ReplyDeleteI thought the ARRA spam was bad, but I had to register on grants.gov so my consulting company could complete an NIH SBIR application, and now I'm getting 3 or 4 "How to Win Government Contracts" dreck-mails a day.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the government is selling their mailing list to pay off the debt!
I would bet that some contractror and/or NIH is selling those lists ...
