Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifth Report of the Director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute It is hoped that this report provides the reader with an appreciation of the enormity of the disease problems within the Institute's purview and of the magnitude, complexity, and scope of the research, evaluation, demonstration, education, and training programs which must be planned, implemented, and coordinated in order to have even a minimal effect on these disease problems. A task of these propor tions requires a research program strategy compris ing a' spectrum of logical, integrated activities; re sources commensurate with the size of the task; and sufficient time to permit the discovery, development, evaluation, demonstration, and translation of new knowledge. Clearly, the cost in terms of manpower, money, and time is great. But the benefits are even greater - no less than improved health, increased longevity, and better quality of life for all Americans.
