This is the basic science that pays off in the long run. You can't just turn biomedical science projects on and off. It takes time and investment to develop the techniques and technologies to do this work, to gather the samples, and ensure

Most of the people interviewed in that video are program officers/administrators at the NHGRI (an institute of the NIH) who oversaw the ENCODE project. They weren't researchers who did the work. The mission of the NIH is human health, so an
