The Past

Barriers to behavioral research are multifactorial. They include attitudinal, conceptual, financial, and administrative factors. In general, behavioral research and clinical research have received less support than basic science research (Marshall, 1994). The traditional emphasis has been on funding of basic research with the expectation that clinical research can be pursued without specific financial support. Although this might have been possible in the past, the increasingly tight control of clinicians' time and the need for cost-effective healthcare delivery have rendered this approach obsolete. Advances in clinically applicable information will require the type of research funding usually reserved for basic science endeavors.

Lessons to be learned from large behavioral research organizations.
