Cicero, most of these things require lots of money. Gotta pay for labs, chemicals, graduate students to assist, big heavy egg splitting machines, etc. It's not like these people sneak off into their garage and separate strands of DNA by the light of an old grease lantern, using a chisel and bread board.
Anytime there's that much money going out to a research program, there are people with clipboards standing around watching how it gets used.
