PLEASE NOTE: EarmarkWatch is an experimental distributed research project that contains data for Fiscal Year 2008 earmarks from the House and Senate Labor-HHS-Education bills and the 2008 House Defense Bill.

It does not contain 2009 earmarks. Congress released earmark disclosures for an omnibus bill that included three of the twelve regular appropriations bills—Defense, Homeland Security, and Military Construction/Veterans Affairs—for fiscal year 2009.

A downloadable spreadsheet listing those earmarks is available from Taxpayers for Common Sense (xls).

“$2,000,000 to Multiple Recipients for Medical Free Electron Laser”

This Earmark Has Multiple Recipients

Because this earmark specifies multiple recipients, we'll skip the guided research.

  • Beckman Laser Institute at UC Irvine
  • Vanderbilt University
  • Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachushetts General Hospital
  • Duke University
  • Stanford University School of Medicine

While you are certainly encouraged to google the recipients for information on them, or to see if they've received contracts or grants in FedSpending.org, or have made campaign contributions or hired lobbyists at opensecrets, we're not providing a separate set of fields to hold that research.

Feel free to leave information on what you find in the "Add a comment or contribute additional research" box below.
