$10 bucks an hour for college women: NIH funded sex study of "hookups"

Stimulus funding for Syracuse University:

"The National Institutes of Health has awarded a $219,000 stimulus grant for psychology professor Michael Carey to study the "hookups" of 500 freshmen women."


How do you spend $219,000 grant money studying freshmen women's dating habits?


"He said the grant will create one new part-time job and pay parts of salaries for three people who are already employed. He said most of the grant money will not be spent on staff. Other expenses include medical testing and evaluation. Researchers will also pay $10 an hour to the women who participate in the study."
