, while those in the behavioral sciences declined by 12 percent. In the latter case, most of the decl ine occurred in NIH training awards and wa s primaries y due to a phasing out of behavioral science predoctora~ training programs formerly author ized under the PHS Act.

For training grants, the 25 percent 1 imit for institutional allowances on NESA grants has been replaced by a plan that allows a maximum of $3,000 for each pretloctoral trainee and $5, 000 for each postdoctoral trainee. Indirect costs of ~ percent and trainee tuition may al so continue to be requested.

Therefore, whit e the Commi thee af f irms i ts previously recommended levels of 4,250 predoctorals and 3,200 postdoctorals, it does anticipate having sufficient information this coming year to reevaluate the conditions on which these earl ier recommendations were based . BEHAVIORAL SCI ENCES Pr edoc tor al/Po s tdoc tora1 ~ uppor t In its 1976 Report, the Commi t tee recommended a gradual shift in training emphasis in the behavioral sciences from a program of predominantly predoctoral support to one of predominantly postdoctoral support wi th a ratio ul t imately of 30 percent predoctoral/70 percent postdoctoral awards (NBC, 1975-1978: 1976 Report, p.

. The Committee reiterates its view that if the goal of reaching a 30/70 ratio is to be achieved, and the desired specialized training in heal th and behavior at the postdoctora~ level provided, it must be done by markedly increasing the number of pos tdoc toral awards and an orderly decrease in the number of predoctorals, rather than by meres y reducing predoctoral support.

Whereas the number of behavioral science awards made by ADAMElA decl ined by about 5 percent between 1977 and ~ 978, the total number of predoctoral and postdoctoral awards made by NIH in the behavioral sciences declined by almost 30 percent during that time.

Some of the decl ine may be attr ibutable to changes in classif ication. However, the extent to which such behavioral sciences training is counted in other areas remains to be cl ar i f fed by the Commi ttee in the coming year .

These figures do not include' however, that portion of the ADAMEA research budget that will support an expanded mental health services research effort in keeping with the recommendations of the Report of the President's Commission on Mental Health (1978) e While there is, then, a clearly expressed national commitment to improve health care and health services research, a comparable commitment to the training of needed health services research personnel is generally racking O The only explicitly identifiable health services research training currently under the NRSA authority is that supported by ADAMHA for training in research on mental health, drug abuse, and alcoholism services.

The Committee notes that this recommendation has generated a great deal of controversy wi th in the nurs ing profess ion . This appears to stem in part from a bel ief that interdiscipl inary approaches to training of ten lack strong institutional support (Hansen and Williams, 1979)
