Thanks to Tom Roberts for doing this survey again.  It's real important to
keep tabs on this so that we don't get whipsawed when negotiating ClinTrial
agreements, although lately the trend has been toward negotiating captitated
rates which include IDCs.

Just looking at Tom's data, compared to the data I gathered two years ago,

1997 Mean = 24%
1995 Mean = 23.1%

Only 3 institutions changed their rates between 1995 and 1997, and one of
those was a very small (-0.4%) change.  Of the other two, one increased
their rate +6%, the other decreased it by 6%.
