MLK Speaker Says 'Enthusiasm for Learning' Is Key Ingredient By Carla Garnett
Although NIH is not in the business of spreading infections,
scientists here have a bug they should pass along far and wide,
according to Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III, president of the University
of Maryland, Baltimore County, and keynote speaker at NIH's 2002
observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. Hrabowski said
the nagging curiosity that is common to researchers ought to be
contagious — particularly to the nation's young people. President Signs '02 Budget for NIH
NIH will get nearly $3 billion more in fiscal year 2002 than it did in
2001, thanks to an appropriation bill signed by President Bush on
Jan. 11. House and Senate conferees approved a $23.285 billion
budget for '02 (14.7 percent above '01), but the final program level
settled at $22.888 billion (14.4 percent increase) after $100 million
was taken out for a global AIDS/malaria/tuberculosis fund, and
other taps. The increase marks the fourth payment on an effort,
begun in 1998, to double the NIH budget within 5 years.
