"Those research dollars support about 34,000 jobs in Massachusetts
"As of 2011, Boston led all cities in NIH funding for the 17th straight year, according to figures the officials distributed Monday. During that year, the NIH awarded $1.7 billion in grants to Boston’s hospitals and universities, its nonprofits and private companies.
My comment:
(a) The "Mass" in the title is a shorthand for Massachusetts.
(b) So Boston even beats Cambridge, Mass, which hosts Harvard University and MIT. However, Harvard Medical School, as well as most of its affiliated hospitals, is located in Boston.
(c) There is no need to read the rest.
