As president of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, I have been asked to speak to councils of scientific societies, government officials, voluntary health organizations, lay audiences,and the press about matters of public policy, especially as they affect federal support for research in medicine and the related life sciences. One question I am asked frequently is whether I can provide references to source materials that summarize some of the economic data I cite in these talks. In response to these queries, Stephen Heinig and Howard Garrison of FASEB’s Office of Policy Analysis and Research and I have prepared this article and the tables and bibliographic materials that accompany it.-SCS
