This is the necessary reason that funding for stroke research needs to completely change. With a defined stroke strategy getting foundation grants and individual donors to step up and fund such research would be damned easy. Asking for general funding for stupid stroke association press release funding is complete insanity. Asking for funding to solve
glutamate poisoning in the
neuronal cascade of death would be a concrete proposal people and foundations could get behind. I.E, 'I helped solve the
glutamate poisoning piece of
stroke neuron death'. You could send out certificates of appreciation suitable to being framed. This is so fucking easy to solve the funding problem but will require destroying our
fucking failures of stroke associations and replacing them with a
great stroke association.

In the Spotlight
Don’t Let Congress Stall Research FundingCongress
needs to pass a final budget by December 9 or funding for NIH and NSF
could remain flat for the coming year. NIH Director Francis Collins
warned Congress
that passing another continuing resolution (CR) instead of a full
budget will endanger biomedical research by further limiting resources.
Specifically, he highlighted an increase in funding for Alzheimer’s
disease research that will be unrealized under another CR.
