Accordingly, the development of new drugs and clinical assays has typically been largely the domain of the pharmaceutical indu...
متن کاملLost Dollars Threaten Research in Public Academic Health Centers.
The decrease of federal and state support threatens long-term sustainability of research in publicly supported academic health centers. In weathering these financial threats, research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), has undergone 3 substantial changes: institutional salary support goes preferentially to senior faculty, whereas the young increasingly depend on grants; priv...
متن کاملMarket forces and unsponsored research in academic health centers.
CONTEXT Increased competitive pressures on academic health centers may result in reduced discretionary funds from patient care revenues to support the performance of unsponsored research, including institutionally funded and faculty-supported activities. OBJECTIVE To measure the amount and distribution of unsponsored research activities and their outcomes. DESIGN AND SETTING Survey conducte...
متن کاملAcademic health centers in a changing environment.
To evaluate the potential problems facing academic health centers (AHCs) as a result of market-driven health care reforms, we conducted case studies of seven nationally prominent AHCs during 1994. Findings suggest that although AHCs were not yet feeling the predicted impact of competition on their financial health and ability to sustain their academic missions of teaching, research, and care of...
