The money comes from the $787 billion economic stimulus program that is designed to help create jobs and turn around the economy. The White House says the $5 billion dollars will support some 12-thousand existing projects and create thousands of jobs over the next two years for researchers and educators, as well as medical equipment makers and suppliers.
