How the National Institutes of Health (NIH) spends its money

Want to know how much the NIH is spending on research in various areas? Check out their Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool (RePORT) athttp://report.nih.gov/budget_and_spending/index.aspx. Yes, I already checked on how much they devote to chronic pain research… It’s was 1% of their 2008 budget! Doesn’t sound like enough considering that chronic pain affects 30% of Americans!
