... Studies of the basic mechanisms underlying overt clinical changes seen in spaceflight should have the first priority in any relevant research strategy. The preceding chapters illustrate that NASA has made an effort to implement parts of the research strategies provided by the Space Studies Board.

From page 63...
... In view of the enormous breadth of basic and clinical research that must be carried out in the life sciences to ensure the future of human presence in space, the lack of a serious commitment to the life sciences program is not commensurate with agency plans for future human space exploration. If the nation and NASA are committed to a program of human exploration, a substantial infusion of funds is a prerequisite for success.

... These kinds of problems can be circumvented with a dedicated block of time in a dedicated research facility in which constant and rapid change in experimental design can be accomplished. The final point of major concern to the CSBM is the acquisition, handling, and dispersal of data obtained from both ground-based and space research.
