RIGHT NOW, CHILDREN바카라 게임 웹사이트�S IS THE LEADING RECIPIENT OF NIH MEDICAL RESEARCH FUNDING, RECEIVING $230 MILLION EVERY YEAR. THE HOSPITAL SAYS IT STANDS TO LOSE HALF OF THAT AND IS ALREADY FEELING THE IMPACT. WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH THE CDC AND THE FDA IN TERMS OF MONITORING FLU. AS AN EXAMPLE. WE HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE LEADERS IN THAT REGARD, AND THOSE CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN STOPPED. A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS BLOCKED THE CUTS WHILE LAWSUITS MOVE THROUGH THE COURTS.

WE DID REACH OUT TO UMASS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO CONFIRM THAT FOR US.
