Centers are popular because they can bring visibility, focus, and increased resources to bear on specific diseases. However, congressional debate in 2001 over proposed legislation directing NIH to set up centers for muscular dystrophy research highlighted several areas of uncertainty about how to decide when centers are an appropriate research mechanism in specific cases. The debate also highlighted a growing trend among patient advocacy groups to regard centers as a key element of every disease research program, regardless of how much is known about the disease in question, the availability of experienced researchers, and other factors. This book examines the criteria and procedures used in deciding whether to establish new specialized research centers. It discusses the future role of centers in light of the growing trend of large-scale research in biomedicine, and it offers recommendations for improving the classification and tracking of center programs, clarifying and improving the decision process and criteria for initiating center programs, resolving the occasional disagreements over the appropriateness of centers, and evaluating the performance of center programs more regularly and systematically. 606 $aMedicine$xResearch$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aMedicine$xResearch$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aMedicine$xResearch$zUnited States$xFinance 606 $aFederal aid to medical research$zUnited States 606 $aFinancing, Government$xeconomics$3(DNLM)D005380Q000191 606 $aHealth Policy$3(DNLM)D006291 606 $aProgram Evaluation$3(DNLM)D015397 606 $aResearch Support as Topic$xeconomics 607 $aUnited States 615 0$aMedicine$xResearch$xGovernment policy 615 0$aMedicine$xResearch$xEvaluation. 615 0$aMedicine$xResearch$xFinance. 615 0$aFederal aid to medical research 615 2$aFinancing, Government$xeconomics. 615 2$aHealth Policy. 615 2$aProgram Evaluation. 615 2$aResearch Support as Topic$xeconomics. 676 $a610/.72/073 701 $aManning$b Frederick J$01806438 701 $aMcGeary$b Michael G.
