The report also detailed a $629,942 grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that partially funded research on the relationship between wine expertise and willingness to try new wines and foods. The report took issue with the lack of downstream oversight on the grants being distributed, as they often end up funding research outside of the original grant description and purpose.1 pageenOversight RecordsSenate Majority Oversight Record20: Government Operations2002: Government Efficiency, General Regulatory Policy and Bureaucratic Oversight114Yes
