title: The challenge to medical research in a cost-competitive environment. Interview by Mark Harris.
abstract: As managed care and government actions threaten the financial base of research and education at America's teaching hospitals, they must find new sources of funds. Mary Woolley of the advocacy group Research!America notes that the heads of healthcare systems can help reverse the downward trend in funding and gain a competitive edge with the public, who favor spending more on research.
