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 Research Council, 2101 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20418, no later than February 7, 1977. 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."

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.
