‘In this time of severe budget<br />

constraints, Americans need to<br />

know that today’s basic<br />

research is the engine that<br />

powers tomorrow’s therapeutic<br />

discoveries. They need to know<br />

that basic research is the type<br />

of science that the private<br />

sector, which requires rapid<br />

returns on investment, cannot<br />

afford to fund. They need to<br />

know that, because it is<br />

impossible to predict whence<br />

the next treatment may emerge,<br />

the nation must support a<br />

broad portfolio of basic<br />

research. ‘<br />

Dr. Francis S. Collins, Leader of the<br />

Human Genome Project and U.S. Director<br />

of the National Institutes of Health, 2012<br />
