Extract

Basic, clinical and services research all play important roles in generating scientific knowledge and, ultimately, in discovering and developing cost-effective treatments that help people with a given illness. Benefits of the treatments then extend to patients' families, their communities and the entire society – all of which are impacted by the negative economic and social consequences of the disease.
