After a day of deliberations, a trustee panel will announce Tuesday evening the first recipients of the Life Sciences Discovery Fund grant -- a new competition that was designed to channel millions of dollars in tobacco-settlement money toward life-sciences research in Washington.
The first round will award about $6 million, split among six to eight groups, said Lee Huntsman, the fund authority's executive director. Those groups' project proposals will be chosen out of 74 requesting $57 million. The applicants, all non-profits, are listed on the fund's Web site http://www.lsdfa.org/disclosure/index.html .
