Original Note:
This claim is inaccurate for a number of reasons. The project ran from February 2010 to January 2016, so the government did not spend any money on it in 2019. Additionally, the purpose of the study was about how cocaine abuse impacts specific behaviors. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/05/28/various-dishonesties-rand-pauls-cocaine-quail-presentation/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/scicurious-brain/cocaine-and-the-sexual-habits-of-quail-or-why-does-nih-fund-what-it-does/
