I appreciate your comments and the effort you took to find some specific figures regarding the actual breakdown of funding sources at the U.W..<br />Since I have nothing to hide and do not use some pen name, I'm curious to know why you find it necessary to use an "Anonymous". I hope we can continue our "sifitng and winnowing" and do so in an open and forthright manner.

Various monies, amounts and destinations, coming from the Feds are accessible, but not that easy to excavate or decipher. I don't know of any kinds of "master lists" which delineate all the funding streams. Again, the UW Adminsitration extols the gross amount, now beyond $1.1 billion a year, bu they don't say from whence it comes -- private donors, foundations, DOD, NSF, etc. And then there's the WARF -- another entity entirely that funds all sorts of projects.Allen Ruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310195276315827048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3458840028095794061.post-43309918788199076542011-03-13T15:17:09.300-07:002011-03-13T15:17:09.300-07:00Could you point me towards statistics showing the ...Could you point me towards statistics showing the break down of research money at UW-Madison?
