... For obvious reasons, clinical science chairmen almost uniquely indicated a serious lack of closed clinical research wards (40 departments) ; it was also the clinical departments that felt the most pressing need for access to

... It is difficult to know to what extent these priority statements by department chairmen and investigators represent significant restrictions on the quantity or quality of on-going research and to what extent they are mere "wish lists." Where the indicated instrument or facility is truly unavailable to the investigators concerned, there can be no doubt that it might well constitute an absolute restriction on research productivity, a barrier to the logical pursuit of a research program in the light of information already obtained. In our experience, such instruments as electron microscopes, amino acid analyzers, analytical ultracentrifuges, and mass spectrometers are programmed weeks or months in advance, and it is difficult if not impossible either to borrow them or to have runs made on request.

... When the chairmen were asked to indicate their second and third choices as well this item was selected by an aggregate of 30 percent of departments. These data must again be regarded with a caveat; they were obtained before the impact of the current plateau in federal funding, with all its implications, and it is difficult to distinguish clearly between acute need and general "wish list." Some 205 departments indicated that they had no need of additional funds to improve their current research endeavors, and it was of interest to examine the pattern of the considered needs of this limited group for expansion of the departmental research endeavor.

... In short, by each form of this examination, if the academic research endeavor in the life sciences is to be improved or expanded, additional funds must be provided to assure payment of faculty salaries and predoctoral stipends. Until these urgencies have been met, all other considerations appear to be secondary.
