NOTE: We are interested in obtaining information about any RESEARCH TRAINING you may have received which qualifies you as an
investigator in HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH. The enclosed questionnaire has been designed primarily for persons who hold a PhD or
equivalent research doctorate (EdD, DSc, et al.) in the biomedical or behavioral sciences. We are extending this survey to include all per-
sons who are investigators in HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH regardless of discipline or level of training.
In completing the green questionnaire:
1. please answer all questions with respect to any FORMAL research training you have received,
2. if you do NOT hold a RESEARCH DOCTORATE, interpret such teens as "doctoral", `'graduate" or "postdoctoral" with respect
to your highest level of RESEARCH training (exclude periods of professional training or clinical residencies.)

PLEASE RETURN BY FEBRUARY 7, 1977.
THE ACCOMPANYING LETTER requests your assistance in this
survey of biomedical and behavioral science departments.
PLEASE READ the instructions carefully and answer by printing
your reply or checking the appropriate box.
PLEASE COMMENT on any questions which you think require
fuller explanation.
PLEASE RETURN the completed form in the enclosed envelope
to the Commission on Human Resources, JH 638, National

If you have any questions about the survey, please call collect
Robert G. Snyder at (202) 389-6656.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Graduate students and postdoctorate should be reported in only
one department. An individual in an interdisciplinary program
should be reported only in the department in which he/she is
primarily enrolled. Please coordinate your reply with other
departments if necessary.
Questions requesting data on the support of students should be
reported only by the PRIMARY (largest single) source of support.
Each individual should be counted only once, by his/her major
source of support. Data are requested only for students who are
enrolled FULL-TIME. FuIl-time status may include any combi-
nation of research, teaching, and study activities that your insti-
tution defines as constituting full-time.
Information relating to FACULTY is requested for both indi-
~uals and full-tune equivalents (FTE). Include as faculty those
with regular faculty appointments AND those with research ap-
pointments EXCLUDING POSTDOCTORALS (see definition
below). Use your own institution's definition of what constitutes
"full-time."
DEPARTMENTS OF PSYCHOLOGY: Please note special instruc-
tions throughout this questionnaire AND complete and return the

TRAINING LEVEI~:
PREDOCTORALS-graduate students enrolled in a degree pro-
gram, usually a discipline, leading to a Ph.D. or equivalent.
EXCLUDE MEDICAL STUDENTS working for professional
degrees, but INCLUDE students in dual degree programs
(e.g., M.D.-Ph.D.).
POSTDOCIORALS-includes only those individuals with science
or engineering doctorates or those with professional doctorates
(M.D., D.D.S., D.VM., etc.) who, under TEMPORARY AP.
POINTMENTS, devote full-time to research activities or study
in the department, usually for a SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD, and
who carry NO ACADEMIC RANK. EXCLUDE HOSPITAL
HOUSE STAFF unless their primary objective is RESEARCH
TRAINING under a senior mentor.
POSI-PHD.-speciaIized research training taking place after
receipt of a Ph.D. or equivalent degree.
POST-M.D.-research training taking place after receipt of a
professional doctorate (M.D., DD.S., D.VM., etch.
SOURCES OF SUPPORT:
NlH-The National Institutes of Health.
ADAMHA—The Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Admin-
istration. Since this agency was not extant as a single entity in
1972, make 1972 and 1976 years comparable by aggregating the
three component institutes: Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism,
Dmg Abuse, and Mental Health.
HRA—Health Resources Administration.
INSTITUTIONiSTATE—refers to sources of support within the
academic institution itself and those from state and local govern"
meets.
OCR for page 220
SELF-indi~duals receiving their primary source of support from
personal, family, and loan sources.
TYPES OF SUPPORT:
TRAINING GRANTS-grants awarded by the federal government
to institutions for individual departments or a consortium of de-
partments for training in a specific field. Grants provide for
trainee costs (largely stipends) and INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT
(including expenses for salanes, special seminars, courses, equip-
ment, and supplies). Individuals supported on such awards are
TRAINEES.
FELLOWSHIPS—awards made directly to the individual, con-
sisting of a stipend and an institutional subvention in lieu of
tuition. Individuals supported on such awards are FELLOWS.
RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS-predoctoral support provided
for work performed on a research grant or contract. (The post-
doctoral equivalent is the research associateship.)
TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIPS—predoctoral support provided
for work performed as part of teaching programs.
