In response to my query a couple of weeks ago, I rec'd 3 responses
summarized below, and am including UCHC's history as well.  Thanks to those
of you who responded.  I was particularly interested in the question
regarding clinical trials, the data for which is not included in the NSF
reports on academic research funding (but thanks for that suggestion).  If
anyone else cares to respond, I will update this report in a few weeks.
