Fed. Research Funding Skips Central Mass.

By Matthew L. Brown
The $4.3 million in National Science Foundation funding for research in Massachusetts will go to universities and scientists in every region of the state but the Worcester region.

The funding was announced by U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.

The largest allotment, $712,802, will go to Harvard University. The smallest, $145,900, will go to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. In between are studies, projects and research in Woburn, Boston College, Brandeis University, MIT, Northeastern University, Tufts University and UMass Amherst.

The NSF funds 20 percent of all federally funded research done by colleges and universities.

In a statement, Kennedy said he was "thrilled that our first-rate universities and research institutes have been awarded this critical funding" so they can be "a driving force in our new global economy."
