Middle Tennessee's biomedical researchers are getting a two-year financial boost as they seek cures for HIV, autism and cancer.
More than $37 million in federal stimulus money is flowing into the state through the National Institutes of Health. Vanderbilt University claimed the most in the first year — $22 million for research and job creation, compared with $1.8 million for Meharry Medical College and the same for Middle Tennessee State University.
