director ofins.the the national institutes of health. >> dr. francis collins, can you give us in a nutshell what nih >> the national institute of health is an amazing place. it has a budget every year of approximately $30 billion. half of that goes out to grants in every state of the nation. when you hear about a breakthrough that has happened in diabetes research or autism or alzheimer's, it is very likely that it came from a university or institute somewhere that was supported by nih. that is what we do. we support the best and brightest to chase after their visionary ideas, and we think we are good at that. as thet is the influence? director, with 27 institutes and centers, how do you influence what goes on? >> it is a very big place. it has 27 institutes and centers. they are various diseases- or organ-instance focused.there is a can start institute, a diabetes institute, a heart and lung institute. each of these is led by remarkable, world-class scientists. they work across the landscape to try to identify what has to happen next in order t

higher rates too and according to a two thousand and nine review of the epidemic of obesity by the national institutes of health people who live in the most poverty dense counties in the us are those who are most prone to obesity meaning pretty much that our poorest people are fat now there are lots of ways to parse the data for instance higher income women are less likely to be obese and low income women but the same might not be true for men but all of this can be filed under one big having a no doc right because we all know this by now we've all seen the pie charts and heard lots of talking heads that yapping about this data for a while now and we all know our food has become clairette because of broken big agriculture and corporate greed our blood has become just another way for fact cat fight intended to make money and the result is that our food is making us all fat which is making us all sick we've all been talking about the correlation. between party disease stroke diabetes certain types of cancer and obesity for a while now what we're not talking about is how we do is sleep crazy it is that w

. >> as the head of the national institutes of health, do you appoint the heads of the national institutes national cancer institute's and other centers? >> they are appointed by the secretary of health and human services, kathleen sebelius, but i have a very heavy role in making a recommendation, and i do so generally by organizing a search committee of the best and brightest people in that field to try to identify the perfect person, have them go through all of that vetting, and then have them make a recommendation to the secretary. it is not easy. we cannot pay them probably than a quarter of what their market value would be. you can barely squeeze up to $300,000. very few of our directors are that level. most of them could the college presidents, or executive vice deans of medical centers. they get paid three or four times that. >> why did you get picked for the human genome project? >> i have wondered that. >> and who picked you? >> the nih director, who died of cancer, of a brain tumor. that level. she reached out to me very early in the project. it started in 1990, and the first dir

the national institute of justice, lynn rosenthal and chris rose, who are also with me today on the dais, addressed the backlog. thank god. the joyful heart are so proud to partner with them on this work. just weeks ago, when the first 400 kids were tested and entered into the national dna database, law enforcement were able to identify 29 serial rapists. [applause] it is huge. that is only out of the first 400. we are talking about hundreds of thousands. that just goes to show you and makes you think about what could have not been. one of the kids in detroit belonged to a young mother who was raped at gunpoint in her bed while her two young children were sleeping next to her. immediately following the attack, she bravely called the police and went to the hospital, where evidence was collected from her body. in her words, said, i have no choice, the only way that i had of getting the person on the street was to go. the rape kit was tested, 14 years later. 14 years. when a prosecutor finally told her that they had identified a rapist, she courageously moved forward with the prosecution. h

the brain. national -- dr. collins of the national institutes of health has done an amazing work. if we are not investing in the national institutes of health at the level they need, whether it ,s autism, alzheimer's, heart diabetes research for rea made so much progress, then these are not just jobs, there are lives that will be lost. i just want to emphasize again that what the chairman did was important but did not go far enough, because these kids did not get back those years. the opportunity to get research done and save lives and create jobs is absolutely essential. isgree the cr we the worst possible thing to be done, but the regular order portion of it, and i think what you are both committed to is the process to actually bring forward appropriation bills and passed them and hopefully the senate will do the same thing. >> that is the problem. we passed all 12 of the appropriations bills through the house committee. we passed seven of them on the floor of the house. the meantime, the senate did nothing. they refused to take up a single appropriations bill. so it takes two to

am chris rose, deputy director at the national institute of justice, the research arm at the u.s. department of justice. sarah is right, the testing of a rape kit, dna testing can cost anywhere between $1000 and $1500, i would say. we at the national institute of justice, i will give us a little bit of a plug, are working towards faster and cheaper ways of doing that. once you can get that kind of thing in place, along with a number of other things, because this is a multifaceted problem, then we can really make some progress and move things along quicker. >> thank you. turning now to the show. questioner says, your tv character influenced your thinking and your advocacy. how much do you influence your character and the content of your show?
