Clinical Investigation Program Annual Progress Report.
Abstract
The Clinical Investigation Program differs from Medical Research and Development in that the emphasis is on the health care problems existing in our patient populations, i.e.; active duty, retired, and dependents and not solely on medical problems affecting combat readiness and the fighting strength. It is, by its nature, an integral part of the triad of patient care and medicine. It promotes and supports the finest ideals and traditions of Military Medicine and enhances the vitality of the teaching programs which in turn elevates the standard of medical care. The research program operates on the premise that all approved protocols will be supported to the fullest extent allowed by current funding. This concept allows for a larger number of physicians and ancillary personnel to participate in research rather than as in the grant system used elsewhere. This means that virtually every investigator is given a chance to pursue his research without having to compete for funds with established names in the field.
