The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a $2 billion non-profit corporation. The Institutes revenue includes tuition and gifts, as well as a significant amount of funding from external research sponsors, including the federal government, industrial sponsors and foundations. .
The research enterprise can be characterized by a cradle to grave process. This process begins with a concept or idea that is turned into a proposal, followed by an award, the performance of the project, and several other steps that ultimately lead to the closeout process. Understanding the entire process will help you to become a more effective research administrator.
The Principal Investigator (PI) has overall responsibility for the technical and fiscal management of a sponsored project, including the management of the project within funding limitations, and assuring that the sponsor will be notified when significant conditions related to the project status change. While responsibility for the day to day management of project finances may be delegated to administrative or other staff, accountability for compliance with MIT policy and sponsor requirements ultimately rests with the PI.--snip--

Health Reform: An Online Guide
Slate (USA) - Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Author: Timothy Noah
EXCERPT
Jonathan Gruber . Links to the MIT economist’s op-eds on health reform.
Caveat emptor: In early January Politico revealed that Gruber received $297,600 the previous June from the health and human services department to assess various health reform proposals. (Click here for the documentation.) This brought mild embarrassment to journalists Jon Cohn of the New Republic and Ronald Brownstein of the Atlantic, both of whom have relied on Gruber heavily yet were unaware of his financial ties to the Obama administration. (Add me to the list of those who were somewhat less embarrassed because we’d relied on Gruber somewhat less; henceforth I will try to flag Gruber’s financial ties whenever I quote him.) Gruber’s priorities have long been in pretty obvious alignment with the Obama administration’s, but for what it’s worth my sense is that the influence runs from Gruber to the White House rather than the other way around. In at least one instance (his misplaced enthusiasm for the excise tax on “ Cadillac “ health plans) that influence has contributed to bad policy. Overall, it’s fair to say that Gruber is a cheerleader for health reform, and that his economic reasoning is likely influenced by his political preferences. That said, Gruber remains respected by his academic peers as a leading expert on the economics of health care.
Click here for his paper (revised Nov. 27) arguing that, contrary to a health insurance industry study (and a later CBO study), the “blended” Senate bill would lower health premiums in the non-group market. Click here for his analysis of the tax on “ Cadillac “ health plans, which he argues will raise wages. Click here for his Nov. 2 testimony before the Senate health committee arguing that health reform would help small businesses.

BTTT!
Great info/links. THIS needs to go viral.
Is there any way to get this info in an emailable format? With links, etc? We could send it to every one we know...and, to our Congresscritters, etc. Thanks.
Sickening, but not surprising!
So many great points in this thread. Wish there was a way to combine/condense it all into something emailable...with hot links...to send to the masses.
According to MRC and Bernie Goldberg, the MSM (NBC, CBS, and ABC) as of yesterday hadn’t mentioned a thing. CNN - one story, length unknown. MSNBC - not counted as an actual TV network/show/outhouse.
Wash. Post finally ran something yesterday or today. Hurray for Ben Bradlee’s House of Lies and Omissions. Glad that nasty old lefty bastard croaked a couple weeks ago. He made sure that the Wash. Post stayed far left and covered up for the Democrats and the Reds whenever they could.
We used to call the WP “Pravda East” along with the NYT’s as “Tass East”. They earned those titled, believe me.
I sense than an an unseen force will be taking over the steering wheel in Gruber’s vehicle and itcrashing into a brick wall going over 100 miles an hour...
BTW. A friend of mine has a son that is working on the GPS chips that they are putting into all the new vehicles. Seems there are some rumors about override functions being built into some of the new chips.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS: MIT GETS FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS----NO MORE TAX MONIES UNTIL GRUBER GOES
Back to the thread. Check out # 102, and other comments throughout. A lot of info here.
Thanks, Liz and Maggief.
I like it.....let’s see if Mitch and Johnny have the stomach for it
Back then our intelligent agencies spent money and lives smuggling out books and newspapers and magazines to check the photos. We learned who was in or out of power by the photo doctoring.
I can only imagine the complexity of doing that way back then. Did they steal Disney tech? lol
Comrade Yezhov's visage is oddly familiar.

We do have this gem: Obama is, without a doubt, at the center of the Obamacare deception which he calculatedly perpetrated on Americans in lockstep w/ Democrat party loyalists.
Obama specifically ordered Jonathan Gruber---and other healthcare experts in on the hoax---to find ways to game the CBO numbers so that they could pass the bill without Americans being the wiser.
After all, they had the preening Gruber who knew the "dirty little secret" of Romneycare---that Massachusetts ripped off the federal govt (read taxpayers) to finance it.
=====================================================
Gruber loved to pat himself on the back----b/c, he, a lowly MIT professor, was now in the company of the Big Boys---visitng the WH a dozen times--rubbing shoulders w/ Mass Gov Mitt Romney and then-Sen Teddy Kennedy (the liberal lion of US politics).
Anytime he found himself before an audience, the self-satisfied Gruber lapsed into his gleeful, endless showboating over passing Obamacare....and how it was accomplished over the concern of "stupid" Americans.
THE SMOKING GUN---On July 20, 2009, Jonathan Gruber met with the POTUS in the West Wing. He was there almost four hours.
Jonathan Gruber has clearly identified President Obama as the source of the lie behind the "Cadillac Tax." Jonathan Gruber fingered the president of the US in the deliberate lie Obama used to pass the healthcare atrocity.
Which is why I will never buy a new vehicle - and certainly not one that I can't lobotomize.
Cool story. Pity no one will read it.
As of this morningm, the MSM is spiking the story. Only WaPo has mentioned it - CNN gave one fast blurb - the rest are spiking it faster than the punch at a prom.
