            EDITED BY CLAUDE E. BARFIELD AND BRUCE L R. SMITH


Biomedical  research is one of the American public's highest priorities and
is among  the best examples of productive federal investment. In this book,
some  of the nation's best scientists and policy analysts explore and debate
the burning issues that will determine the success of biomedical science-
and its impact on human  health-in  the twenty-first century. It is required
reading for anyone interested in science, health, and public policy.
             -Eric Lander, Director, Whitehead/MIT Center for Genome Research

 The Future of Biomedical Research is a model for the process now under-
way   in which   this country  is pondering   its medical  and  scientific
future...Career centers should make  certain that this.. .is available to any
student considering a career in biomedical research.
             -Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, President, George Washington University

Nineteen  experts grapple with the major issues confronting the nation in
ensuring continued  U.S. leadership in biomedical research and, at the same
time, in achieving the fullest possible social benefits from this research. The
authors  explore the  prospects for  government   support  of biomedical
research in an era of federal downsizing, the merits of funding disease-based
research and untargeted basic research, the promise and challenges of the
growing  alliance in research between universities and corporations, and the
granting of intellectual property rights for publicly funded research.

Claude   E. Barfield  is a resident scholar at the  American   Enterprise
Institute and the director of AEI's science and technology policy studies.
Bruce  L.  R.  Smith,  a retired senior staff member   at the  Brookings
Institution, is author of The Advisers: Scientists in the Policy Process (1992)
and American   Science Policy since World War II (1990).
