Most of their grants are bullshit as well as their research.
Source: I worked in gov for too long. At one point in time I was involved in reviewing/writing a grant or two. That was interesting. Most of it is basically "we are going to lie a lot to get money so we can supplement our own income and pay for a couple of interns to do a bullshit study and make a white paper I will put my name on and never read". I.E. Nothing of value created, just more garbage.
I know someone who got 250k in grant money for a project that was intended to be turned into a personal for-profit application but he was too fucking stupid to figure out how to do it and just burned 250k (of our tax payer money) on dev's that should have been able to do it for 25k and would have made plenty in returns. It is all so fucking stupid and corrupt.
