NORMAN — The University of Oklahoma's Norman campus was awarded about $10 million in research grants from federal stimulus funds in the first quarter of this fiscal year.

Jana Smith, communications director for OU research on the Norman campus, said that, when figuring in the school's Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, OU was awarded $23 million in stimulus money for research from July through September.

OU this week named the 33 projects in Norman that will receive funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 through the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Smith said OU scientists and administrators expect to receive more federal funds for research this fiscal year, which runs through June.

The Stimulus is a scheme to recycle your tax dollars to the Democrat Party. How does it work? Each of these stimulus grants are earmarks, going to specific professors at specific universities. Will these professor then feel beholden to return a portion of the grant to the Democrat Party and Democrat candidates in order to perpetuate the graft cycle? The Latin phrase is: Quid Pro Quo.
