they're vastly important to research at MSU, and perhaps every job I had in the state of Mississippi over about a decade was the result of pork.<div>
</div><div>However, it's a shame that more research groups in the state aren't leveraging these to become competitive enough to diversify their funding. Too many of them, in .my experience, count on these as their primary source of funding, like some sort of research welfare.</div><div>
</div><div>Here's a more complete list, that shows USM as 12th and UMMC as 25th:</div><div>http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2010-04-29-IHE-college-earmarks29_ST_N.htm</div><div>
