National Institute of General Medical Sciences, Annual Report

Excerpt from National Institute of General Medical Sciences, Annual Report: Fy 1980 This has been a year during which the basic biomedical research activities supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences have resulted in important discoveries which are relevant to the goals of all of the Institutes which comprise the National Institutes of Health. These are outlined in the reports of the specific programs and serve to underscore the importance of non categorical basic biomedical science, and the significance of the mission of our Institute. It has become increasingly clear in recent years that, contrary to some expectations, research advances of the most fundamental nature can often be swiftly transplanted into preventive, diagnostic, or therapeutic approaches to a variety of diseases, particularly chronic diseases.
