Mando, The funds for NCATS FY 2016 are set and they are dedicated to that branchof the NIH. What ever money the gov lab uses to screen is for that lab and for that lab only. None of the budgeted money is for Regen to use. NCATS is not cutting a check to REGEN. I don't know how it could be any more clearer than that. All REGEN is utilizing is the NCATS lab that is funded. IOW, REGEN has the full resources of the lab that they will have use for at the tax payer's expense. Regen pays nothing for its use other than supplying the cell lines but the NCATS isn't paying anything to REGEN. If I am wrong, please correct me as to what NCATS is paying REGEN?
MY whole point all along is no money is being given to REGEN. If you want to argue that NCATS resources are and that is a form of payment then ok, I agree but no grant money, check, cash, or any form of currency is being given to REGEN.
Again, I have no idea why this is so hard for some to understand.
