Federal funding for aging education and research: a decade analysis.
Support for gerontological education and research is analyzed from 1976 through 1986 for five federal agencies: the Administration on Aging, the Bureau of Health Professions, the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the Veterans Administration. It was determined that total federal allocations varied greatly between the social/behavioral and biomedical components of the aging field, with biomedical education and research receiving an increasingly larger percentage of support.
