42	payments under this subsection shall commence upon the execution
43	of the contract between the corporation and the grantee.
44	(c) The total amount of revenues reinvested by the grantee
45	under this subsection shall be:

55	exist, in another trust fund that supports biomedical research,
56	as determined by law. The remaining one-half of such
