. To accomplish this mission, several elements have been put in place, including programs to support basic and clinical biomedical research in universities, hospitals and research institutions; programs to support research training, and programs to communicate information to scientists, health care practitioners, and the public.

The President's Biomedical Research Panel in 1976 described the program as: "An outstanding setting for a combination of clinical and basic research experience for promising young scientists and physicians by virtue of access to an innovative research hospital that facilitates the freest communication between laboratories and clinics and between creative investigation and practical application -- it includes an extraordinary diversity of scientific competence that provides unique opportunities for interchange and collaboration; the opportunity for concentration of research without a requirement for teaching or health care service; and excellent, although diminishing resources" (Report of the President's Biomedical Research Panel, 1976)

There are a variety of fellowship programs available for domestic and foreign researchers. Major domestic programs include Staff Fellowships, Senior Staff Fellowships, Epidemiology Staff Fellowships, Medical and Dental Staff Fellowships, Intramural Research Training Award Fellowships, and National Research Service Award Fellowships.

BASIC AND CLINICAL RESEARCH The 1953 opening of the Clinical Center on the NIH campus added a new dimension to the intramural program -- a large capability for patient-related research in close proximity to basic research laboratories -- and brought to the campus a new complement of physicians as well as other professionals and staff needed to run a research hospital. In 1986, the 540-bed Clinical Center, with the Ambulatory Care Research Facility, which opened in 1981, admitted nearly to 9,000 patients and was the site of more than 145,000 outpatient visits (NIH, 1987)

As cost containment pressure builds, these hospitals may have fewer opportunities to subsidize clinical research. THE APPLICATION AND COMMUNICATION OF RESEARCH The justification for the government investment in biomedical research rests ultimately on the extent to which, in the long run, the health and quality of the life of the people of the United States are improved.
