; of this, 30 percent was provided by industry, 4.1 percent by foundations and other private granting agencies, 1.2 percent by academic institutions from their own resources, 0.3 percent by local and state governments, and 60.3 percent * Basic Data Relating to the National Institutes of Healli' 1969, Associate Director for Program Planning and Evaluation and the Division of Research Grants, National Institutes of Health.

It will be seen that, using our categorizations of the life sciences, molecular biology and biochemistry commanded one fourth of all reported support, a substantial fraction of which went to individuals with appointments in clinical departments. Following, in rank order, were physiology (17 percent)

Accordingly, it is entirely possible that students of disease, its etiology, pathogenesis, incidence, or therapy, may well have indicated that their current research area lies in some category other than "disease mechanisms," thus unintentionally distorting the interpretation that might be applied to these data. The pattern of support from the National Science Foundation contrasts with that from the National Institutes of Health.

From page 272... ...
The low figures quoted for support by state and municipal agencies refer to direct granting activity, but the state budgets for the public universities contributed in major degree to the 16 percent of all directly research-supporting funds that are stated to have come from the institutions' own resources. Particularly disappointing is the low order of contribution to research support provided by industry, private foundations, voluntary societies, and individual contributors shown in Table 21.

Research Support as a Function of the Investigator's Age In a general way, increasing research support comes to the academic investigator as he gains seniority in the system. As shown in Figure 34, this is clearly true for investigators supported by the National Institutes of Health

From page 274... ...
Because of the relatively large number of small grants from the National Science Founda: lion, industry, foundations, and voluntary societies, the mean grant size for all sources is decidedly less than that shown for the National Institutes of Health. Nevertheless, the trend is quite apparent: individual research support attains a maximum at 50 to 60 years of age and declines thereafter.
