註釋This report focuses on the role of voluntary health agencies in support of medical and health-related research and development. Health voluntaries are associations which solicit financial support from the general public to carry on activities which benefit the health of the community. Such program activities include medical and health-related R&D, health education, and medical services activities. Voluntary health agencies are among the organizations which meet the tax exemption standards of Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, allowing them a status as nonprofit organizations which operate for charitable, scientific, religious, or educational purposes. To the layman, voluntary health agencies are charities. The study reported here provides a profile of Voluntary Health Agency support of health R&D. The early sections provide descriptions of several major features of such support. The last section summarizes a test of the feasibility of using regression analysis for estimating Voluntaries' expenditures for years in the immediate future. The study was written in the early months of 1975 before final figures for 1974 expenditures of the health agencies were available. Projections, therefore, focus on 1974 and 1975.
