It has become axiomatic that basic science faculty and research programs at medical
schools must support themselves. The days when excess clinical revenue was used to
support basic research are long gone. With the pressure of managed care and faculty
practice programs on medical school budgets, it appears that medical school leaders are
looking everywhere but at clinical programs for critical support of biomedical research at
their institutions, even as NIH support shrinks.
