发帖数: 61690 | 1 A former Penn State engineering professor will spend more than three years
in prison for defrauding federal agencies of $3 million in research grant
money.
Craig Grimes, 56, formerly of Boalsburg and now of Raleigh, N.C., was
sentenced in Harrisburg on Friday by federal Judge Yvette Kane. Grimes was
ordered by pay $640,660.37 in restitution on top of the sentence of 41
months behind bars.
Grimes pleaded guilty in February to defrauding the National Institutes of
Health, making false statements to the U.S. Department of Energy and
laundering money he received from the NIH.
Grimes, who was at Penn State from July 1, 2001, to Dec. 31, 2010, was a
professor of electrical engineering and ran the company Sentech Biomed.
Prosecutors said Grimes got a $1.2 million grant from the NIH for medical
research through his company. Between June 2006 and February 2011, Grimes
was to study gases in patients’ blood that could help detect the presence
of a disease in infants.
Prosecutors allege Grimes promised to use about $509,000 for research at
Penn State’s Hershey Medical Center, but that never happened. Instead,
prosecutors said Grimes used the money on himself.
Grimes then laundered some of the money he got from NIH.
In August 2009, Grimes applied for a $1.9 million grant for researching
energy-related technologies from the Department of Energy. But, prosecutors
said, Grimes but did not disclose that he had received a grant from the
National Science Foundation for the same research.
Grimes told the judge who sentenced him Friday to 41 months that he was
zealous in wanting to help the world.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Terz said Grimes “is not a mad scientist. He
’s a dishonest scientist.” | M***7
