VO: MANY MEDICAL ADVANCES ARE MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. A NEW STUDY SAYS FUNDING FOR THIS RESEARCH HAS NOW SLOWED DOWN.
“What we conclude from this study was one, that funding for biomedical research increased from 2003 to 2007, two, that the rate of increase from 2003 to 2007 was much less than it had been from the previous decade.”
VO: IN RESEARCH FEATURED THIS WEEK IN JAMA, JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION DR. RAY DORSEY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER MEDICAL CENTER AND CO-AUTHORS ASSESSED DATA FROM THE MAJOR SOURCES OF BIOMEDICAL FUNDING. IT SHOWS FUNDING GREW ANNUALLY BY JUST THREE POINT FOUR PERCENT FROM 2003 TO 2007 COMPARED TO SEVEN POINT EIGHT PERCENT FROM THE DECADE EARLIER. THE STUDY ALSO SHOWS FUNDING AIMED AT DELIVERING HEALTH CARE IS SMALL.
“Out of every hundred dollars devoted to health care expenditures in this country only ten cents is devoted toward research aimed at improving the delivery of health care to Americans.”
