Abstract
Today, biology has become a big science, which devours huge amounts of money. In the United States, a phenomenal growth in biomedical science funding has paralleled the increase in research costs. But this did not occur spontaneously, and the American research community has had to learn how to influence budget policy. In Europe, we are now also faced with a similar problem and need to learn how to campaign for better research funding.
