this is a pretty big grant. although it's over 5 years, to put UAB's overall funding in perspective it's around $220m yearly from the NIH

As a 5 year grant, is it a 5 year contract for the full amount, or is it annually renewable for the remaining amount - like an athletics scholarship - that can be cancelled later?

$45 million for the full term, or $9 million/year. Generally, the announced grant amount is what is designated for research. There is usually money provided on top of that for administrative costs.

Didn't think that could happen under a Republican president.

Congress allocates federal funding, not the President (regardless of party). Since Alabama's congressional delegation is 7/9ths Republican, we are in good standing with that party. (If projections for the 2020 census hold true, it will probably drop to 6/8ths Republican.)
