The 1989 Williamsburg Retreat introduced radical changes in the mission and organization of FASEB Focus shifted from a large multidisciplinary scientific meeting to a program of represhysentation and advocacy centered on the interests and concerns of investigators in the biomedical and life sciences Coincident with these changes the business plan of the organization was modified to de-emphasize the obligatory costs of membership in favor of a fee-for-service structure that generated revenues in compensation for the logistic and programmatic support services provided to societies by FASEB offices and departshyments The new rASEB has enjoyed remarkable success providing leadership for biomedical and life science research in the development of public policy The success of this reorganishyzation is reflected in the growth of the Federation Starting from a base of six Member Societies with a combined membershyship of 27000 scientists in 1989 FASEB concluded 1998 with twelve full and five associate Member Societies representing an aggregate membership of more than 56000 investigators Recognizing that more than half of the current membership had not participated in the 1989 Retreat the Board devoted its September meeting to a reexamination of the principles on which rASEB is based This review served to strengthen among the Societies the shared understanding of purpose and strucshyture that provides the foundation for our activities and provided the opportunity to adjust our governance structure financial plan and operating procedures in order to ensure that FASEB will achieve its full potential over the next decade A compreshyhensive summary of the conclusions and recommendations of this important meeting is given elsewhere in this Annual Report this discussion will focus on those recommendations that will result in major changes in our activities and the face we present to the world

One series of recommendations was directed to enhancing our advocacy efforts The three-year term of office for FASEB presishydents will be formalized and the responsibilities of the presishydent-elect and past president will be expanded so that these individuals may share some of the representation duties previshyously performed by the president This change will provide more continuity in FASEBs leadership and liaison with legislashytors and will take advantage of the experience of FASEB presishydents in dealing with policy makers In addition it is proposed to establish a Council of Distinguished Investigators to be composed of recent past presidents and other leaders of the organization as a resource in advising the president on represhysentation activities and occasionally to serve as an additional resou rce in advocacy

Recognizing the importance of policy analysis and research in developing a firm base of information supporting our advocacy activities members at the retreat created a new office the Vice President for Science Policy who will lead the activities of the Science Policy Committee (previously the Public Affairs Advishysory Committee) The Vice President for Science Policy will be elected from among active board members and will serve a three-year term as Vice President-Elect Vice President and past Vice President so that the committee will always include three Board members ensuring close liaison between our policy analysis and representation activities

The recent impressive growth of FASEB focused attention on our mission and organization A new pragmatic mission stateshyment was adopted that clearly defines our goals and activities and the Board endorsed a vision statement that succinctly states our purpose and responds to the question What does FASEB stand for

The diverse membership reflecting seventeen disciplines gives FASEB a distinctive role in the national policy environment as a coalition advancing the public policy goals of laboratory invesshytigators in a wide range of life science disciplines FASEB is not an advocate for a narrow viewpoint or special interest but represents the broad spectrum of the research community Policy development in this setting must be both consensusshybased and directed to specific outcomes It is important to remember that FASEB is not a single society but a federation and must work with the Member Societies each of which has its own public policy agenda The demands of consensus buildshying and coordination with the programs of the Member Socishyeties requires FASEB to be proactive and selective in its public affairs activities and the newly defined Science Policy Commitshytee will facilitate achievement of these goals However FASEB must also assume responsibility to establish a dialogue with other advocacy groups and wherever possible to foster the development of broad coalitions in support of common objecshytives FASEB was a founding member of the advocacy group ResearchAmerica and the Board recommended that we take advantage of every opportunity to work closely with the leadershyship of this important organization

The tremendous opportunities that exist for development in the biomedical and life sciences are critically dependent on advances in physics chemistry mathematics computer science and other fields providing technologies on which our work relies For several years we have invited leaders of the American Physical Society the American Chemical Society and the Amershyican Mathematical Society to join with us in developing recomshymendations for federal science funding Last year we testified jointly with the presidents of these organizations in making recommendations for the research budget of the National Science Foundation and it is anticipated that this important collaboration will continue in future years The important gains that have been initiated with respect to federal funding of biomedical research require that similar attention be directed to all areas of science if the development of the biomedical sciences is not to be hindered by technological constraints Advances in mathematics physics chemistry and engineering are crucial to progress in medical science and FASEB fully endorses Vernon J Ehlers (R-MI) proposal that the federal government increase funds for basic research in the broader spectrum of scientific disciplines A particularly important landmark came when the Congress recognized the important opportunities awaiting investigators in the biomedical and life sciences and endorsed a plan to double NIH funding over the next five years This recommendation had been included in our consensus statement in the federal biomedical research budget for FY 99 and was a central feature of our advocacy efforts during the year

In summary the investment of the Member Societies in FASEB is yielding important returns reinvigorating the excitement and enthusiasm for science among scientists and in the lay community In 1998 the Board took a series of important steps to ensure that FASEB maintains its momentum in fostering the growth and development of biomedical and life sciences In closing I would like to express my appreciation on behalf of the Board of Directors for the tireless efforts of the FASEB staff and our government liaison consultants whose efforts underlie the achievements reported throughout this Annual Report

Executive D~rectors Report

A frequently quoted aphorism in discussions on organizational change may be stated as follows If we dont change our direcshytion e are likely to wind up where we are headed The 98 Retreat provided an opportunity to compare our current direcshytion and long-term target Overall the Board was satisfied that FASEB is making good progress toward appropriate objectives Accordingly the retreat did not lead to proposals requiring radishycal change but recommended adjustments in our governance and procedures directed to improving program performance and the achievement of goals

One important conclusion was the decision to remain open to the recruitment of new Member Societies The discussion focused on two issues of concern that the continued growth of FASEB would lead to increasing difficulty in the achievement of consensus on major issues of public policy and that the continshyued growth of the Federation must inevitably result in some blurring of the unique and distinctive membership profile The Board concluded that difficulties in establishing consensus had not been apparent despite the impressive growth of FASEB over the last few years and that consideration of this issue should be deferred until difficulties were experienced Similarly the recent recruitment of societies that draw on clinical disciplines for their membership has in fact added to the prestige and effectiveness of the FASEB advocacy efforts Given this Retreat participants concluded that the benefits of continued growth are likely to outweigh the potential difficulties and provided additional logistic support for recruitment in establishing a permanent subcommittee of the Board to address membership and recruitment issues

A second group of considerations was directed to ensuring the best use of the time and commitment of the volunteer leadershyship FASEB is committed to performing as a leadership-driven organization This leadership focus has been of demonstrated benefit in terms of encouraging the support of the Member Societies and in the effectiveness of our representation activishyties In addition two recommendations were made to foster the participation of working scientists in the leadership role The first was directed to distributing the advocacy responsibilities to include the President-Elect and Past President the second was to reassign responsibility for policy analysis and research currently directed by the President Elect to a newly created office of the Vice President for Science Policy

The high level of engagement of the volunteer leadership in FASEB activities depends on effective communications systems The Rolm Telephone System initiated in 1992 continues to function well but amazingly is now close to full capacity dspite the initial planned 100 redundancy incorporated at the time of installation This increased utilization does not reneet expansion of staff which has remained almost constant

r the past several years but is due almost entirely to the increasing number of functions that may be accessed directly ithc)ut resorting to automated direction a feature that is almost universally disliked It is anticipated that expansion of the Lee Office Building will provide the opportunity to install a system that takes full advantage of new technologies such as ideo confe rencing

The second leg of the communications infrastructure that supports FASEB governance and activities is of course the Int1rnet Access iacility Thanks to the skill and foresight of our Communications and Information Systems Director Mr Pat Setser the FASEB societies and departments continue to enjoy the benefits of these rapidly developing technologies A secure Web Server has been initiated ensuring security for online

credit card transactions This facility opens the door to online registration for scientific meetings managed by the FASEB Office of Scientific Meetings and will simplify these and other financial transactions between members and their Societies In collaboration with the Office of Publications the FASEB Direcshytory has been made accessible through the FASEB Web site and procedures initiated for updating entries online This will simplify and improve the process for compiling and maintainshying the Directory and reduce costs for Directory development Continued annual production of the hard copy Directory has received attention at several Board meetings as well as at the Retreat Many individual Board members feel that the regular updating of the online Directory makes this vehicle preferable to the annual hard copy publication but the six Societies that have traditionally subscribed to the printed version consider that this is an important benefit of membership which they are unwilling to relinquish at this time In addition The FASEB Journal has joined the growing list of scientific publications to be made available in an online version At least initially subscribers will be offered the opportunity to add the online version to an existing print subscription for a small additional cost The initial response to this innovation has been very encouraging It is anticipated that subscription to the online version of FJ independent of the print version will be made available in the future

The Career Resources Department also makes extensive use of Internet access in providing support for the services it offers to the life science community which has made important investshyments in the development of systems supporting the exchange of information between employers and job seekers Interest in novel systems has developed more slowly than had been anticishypated but in 1998 use of the systems grew to sustainable levels In addition several nonmember societies have expressed intershyest in providing this resource for their members at their annual meetings

The Career Resources Department provides management support to the FASEB program of Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) In addition to the Visiting Scientist Program and sponsoring the attendance of minority investigators at FASEB Summer Conferences and Society meetings the MARC program sponsored a grant-writing workshop in which 51 minority scientists were brought to Bethesda for a thorough grounding in the development of grant-writing skills Particishypants in this innovative program considered this a valuable experience which we plan to repeat and extend in future years

Another unit that experienced remarkable success in 1998 is the AdNet group This facility recruits advertising not only for FASEB publications such as The FASEB Journal the Newsletshyter and the Directory but also for the publications of seven member Societies This advertising keeps members informed on developments in products and services used in their work and the revenue helps defray the costs of publishing Industryshywide life science advertising declined by 7 in 1998 but the publications supported by the AdNet group experienced an overall increase of 8

These highlights and the many other achievements described throughout this Annual Report show that FASEB continues to gain momentum in progressing toward the goals in our Mission Statement and lend confidence that we shall indeed end up where we are headed

Office of Public Affairs Howard Garrison Ph D Director

Public Affairs The Year in Review In retrospect 1998 was a banner year for biomedical research funding The stage was set in the closing weeks of 1997 when prominen t members of Congress from both political parties publicly endorsed substantial funding increases for science and the theme of doubling funding for basic research gained substantial momentum At a seminal meeting with other key representatives of the research community FASEB President Ralph Yount and President-Elect William R Brinkley determi ned that a major increase in funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was a strong possibility From that moment FASEB leadership began an energetic program of activities to support the doubling of NIH funding over five years

Toward thi s end FASEB convened a meeting of leaders from diverse segments of the research community in order to build a broad-based coalition of support for the doubling effort and to identify areas in which more investment was needed A small group of stakeholders from the medical schools research universities patient advocacy commushynity and the philanthropic community met several times during the winter and early spring with Yount and Brinkshyley to develop a statement of principles and coordinate support for the doubling effort

FASEBs report on Federal Funding (or Biomedical and Related Li(e Sciences Research (or FY 1999 released on January 28 called for a 15 increase for NIH and a 10 increase for the National SCience Foundation (NSF) This report developed by representatives of the FASEB socishyeties was the source for FASEB testimony before Congress as well as for other FASEB statements in support of research funding for FY 99

In February the momentum for increased research fundshying received a major boost from President Clintons budget request for FY 99 in which the president announced a major multiyear initiative to increase funding for science He proposed a 84 increase for NIH and a 10 increase for the NSF The increase recommended for NIH was the largest ever proposed by a US president

On February 5 FASEB President Ralph Yount testified before the House Labor-Health and Human ServicesshyEducation Appropriations Subcommittee emphasizing the need to provide additional funding for NIH Whereas this testimony focused on funding levels for the coming fiscal year other efforts were initiated to support the conce pt of doubling the NIH budget in five years Representatives of the FASEB Societies met in San Diego on March 16 to draft a vision statement that would identify the research communitys assessment of th e opportunities and outcomes from a program of increased investment in basic biomedical research The statement prepared by the conferees Molecular Medicine 2020 was endorsed by the FASEB Public Affairs Execu tive Committee Released on April 23 it established FASEBs priorities for long-term investment in NIH

In early spring actions of the House and Senate budget committees added to the growing support for significant increases in research funding The Senate budget resolushytion for FY 99 listed medical research as one of only two priorities for greater discretionary spending The Senate resolution passed April 2 supported an 11 increase for NIH and a 10 increase for NSF Although the House resoshylution was not passed until June 2 the preliminary recomshymendations of the chairman introduced in April identishyfied NIH and medical research as the top priorities for

FASEB President Yount ACS President Walter and APS President Sessler before the House VA-HUD Appropriations Subcommittee

funding increases Throughout the spring FASEB continued its efforts at building coalitions and supporting increased fund ing for basic research On April 21 FASEB President Ralph Yount testified before the House VA-HUD Appropriations Subcommittee in support of increased funding for NSF At the initiative of FASEB this testimony was presented jointly by the presiden ts of FASEB the American Chemical Society and the American Physical Society The stakeshyholders group convened by FASEB President Yount and President-Elect Brinkley met with NIH Director Harold Varmus and released its recom mendations in May FASEB also participated in activities organized by the Campaign for Medical Research This group created by philanshythropist John Whitehead was singularly successful in working with key members of Congress to support increased funding for NIH Because of those efforts FASEBs Public Affairs Executive Committee voted in December to give Whitehead a special award for advocacy

Despite widespread support for increased investment in biomedical research the funding situation was complishycated by the larger political climate News of a budget surplus was announced in late spring This historic occurshyrence fueled optimism for increased research funding but rival proposals for tax cuts increased spending for other programs debt reduction and social security reform competed for the projected revenue surplus In this envishyronment with renewed emphasis on large-scale policy issues the House-Senate conference agreement on the budget resolutions for the coming fiscal year became sideshytracked This delay drove the app ropriations committees to begin their work without a new spending plan forcing subcommittee members to move forward with minimal funding allocations from the previous years budget agreeshyment

Throughout the summer the appropriations subcommitshytees developed funding legislation for the agencies under their jurisdiction Science programs continued to fare well reflecting the presidential and congressional priorishyties established earlier in the year The House VA-HUD Appropriations Subcommittee proposed a 78 increase ior NSF which included a 106 increase for research and related activities In the Senate the VA-HUD Appropriashytions Subcommittee recommended a 63 increase for NSF with a 70 increase for research and related activishyties

Work on the appropriations bills for NIH also began on an optimistic note The House Labor-HHS-Educations Approshypriations Subcommittee proposed a 91 increase for NIH At the encouragement of congressional leadership FASEB actively supported this legislation FASEB President Brinkley began his term of office in July by meeting with members of Congress writing letters to other members of Congress and joining other groups who sponsored advershytisements supporting NIH in influential Capitol Hill publishycations Unfortunately the limited funding available for all the programs under the jurisdiction of this subcommittee made this bill more controversial It was never brought to the full House for consideration

In the Senate N[H funding legislation moved slowly until late in the fiscal year Then in a dramatic move Sen Arlen Specter (R-PA) proposed a 147 increase for NIH This bill was approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on September 8 The next day Senator Specter and Sen Tom Harkin (D-IA) held a rally on Capitol Hill to build bipartisan support for this legislation The entire FASEB Board attended the rally In December FASEB recognized the extraordinary efforts of Senators Specter and Harkin by voting to give them the FASEB Public Service Award for 1999

sciences research The year ended on a spectacular note for biomedical science The immediate future looked bright but the long-term prospects remained uncertain with widespread apprehension that the legislative delay and the political divisiveness would complicate continued bipartishysan support for science

FASEB Public Affa irs Program Public affairs activities of the Federation advance the intershyests of individual investigators in biological and biomedical sciences and are guided by representatives of the FASEB Societies who serve on the FASEB Board of Directors and the Public Affairs Executive Committee (PAEC) The Office of Public Affairs (OPA) coordinates these activities and also supports the policy development and research mission of the newly created Science Policy Committee (SPC) the body charged with developing active positions on emergshying issues Current members of these committees are listed on page 9

Expertise on legislative issues is provided by Michael Stephens A legislative consultant with almost 25 years experience on the staff of the House Labor Health and Human Services Education Appropriations Subcommitshytee Stephens is one of the countrys most knowledgeable and respected experts on federal support for biomedical research His information and analysis of legislative activishyties informs FASEB deliberations and policy development and his insights and experience maximize the effectiveness of FASEB initiatives Shirley Ruhe a budget consultant with more than 20 years experience with the House Budget Committee is also retained to provide greater coverage of the budget process Her expertise compleshyments Stephens and provides strategic insight into the work of the budget committees

[n September the FASEB Board held a retreat in order to discuss ways to review the FederationS activities in four areas public affairs mission and membership governance and financial affairs In the public affairs area three recomshymendations were made The first was to change the leadershyship sequence (President-Elect President and past Presishydent) into a formal three-year term expanding the duties of the President-Elect and immediate past President in order to provide greater continuity of personal contacts in FASEBs advocacy program A second and related action was to create a Council of Distinguished Investigators Composed of recent past presidents and other noted scienshytists this group will use its accumulated experience expershytise and contracts to advance FASEB positions The third major recommendation was to reemphasize the policy development role of the Public Affairs Advisory Committee (PAAC) in emerging science policy issues and to reconstishytute the committee as the Science Policy Committee (SPC) To strengthen the committees connection to the FASEB Board SPC leadership will be composed of Board members elected by the Board The chair of the SPC that is the Vice President for Science Policy will serve a threeshyyear term including one year as Vice President-Elect and one year as past Vice President

Office of Publications Edward P Rekas Director

This office was reorganized in 1997 and is responsible for the primary publishing activities of FASEB along with publication services for client Societies The primary activshyities include publication of The FASEB Journal the FASEB Directory of Members and oversight of the FASEB web site Publication services include management of the JOllrshynal of Leukocyte Biology and editing abstracts and programs AdNet advertising management and Marketing Services are also part of the expanded office

Along with service to Member Societies an objective of this office is to contribute surplus operating funds to support FASEBs broader public affairs mission To that end the Office of Publications produced a surplus of $361 000 on total revenues of $2201000 in 1998

The FASEB Journal Vincent T Marchesi MD Ph D Editor-in-Chief http wwwfasebjorg During 1998 the journal gained significant momentum in prospective author interest and in the number of papers and pages published Total manuscript inquiries submitted to the Editorial Office increased 60 over 1997 to more than 450 and the acceptance rate decreased from about 65 in 1997 to less than 50 in 1998 One hundred eighty-six articles were published with a total of 1800 pages of editorial content This represented a 37 increase in pages over 1997 and the most pages printed in an annual volume since the journals inception in 1987 Among the topics most covered were apoptosis HlV infecshytion calcium channels Alzheimers disease T cells and nitric oxide

The Life Sciences Forum continued to be a feature in the journal with seven articles published during the year Subjects included the responsibilities of biomedical authorship the daily rigors encountered by the scientific community the need for scientists to get involved as fundshying advocates and a review of trends in research funding 1venty-four review articles were also published

The practice of asking authors to submit a brief descripshytion of their manuscripts for formal review elicited many thoughtful commentaries These inquiries are usually sent by email or fax and result in a rapid review by the Editorshyial Office It has also helped to handle the increase in submissions

Another milestone reached by the journal in 1998 was its publication on the web Fi Online wwwfasebjorg It may its debute in October with all 1998 issues available in fullshytext Tables of contents and article abstracts going back to Volume 1 (1987) were included and can be searched This free introductory service will continue until April 1 1999 when the site will be available only to subscribers who choose to pay a modest surcharge to the rate for their After April 1 subscribers will be able to follow topics of highest interest by entering them into the CiteTrack system When an article mentions these topics an email

alert will be sent to the subscriber Also available for the first time are future tables of contents

FASEB Directory of Members http www faseborgcgi-binSoc-Dir The 1999 edition of the Directory was published on November 24 and mailed to approximately 33000 members of seven FASEB Societies The Directory included 49423 unduplicated entries from the twelve Member Societies Three-quarters of the listings include email addresses in addition to other contact information

During 1998 an online Directory update mechanism was created that allows members to update their own listing Changes submitted by members are verified edited and placed into the online Directory within 48 hours Members will be asked for their updates via email and individual Societies will be asked for new and discontinued member names throughout the year This continuously updated file then evolves into the next printed version Individual members are now able to provide accurate and complete directory information for themselves

The financial structure of the Directory was changed in 1998 and will affect the 1999 budget The cost of mainshytaining the Directory database will now be borne by FASEB and not by the Societies that purchase the Directory This change will reduce the bulk cost of the Directory from approximately $1000 per copy to $690 in 1999

FASEB WWW Site httpwww fase b 0 rg The impressive growth in use of the web site continued in 1998 Over 7 million hits were recorded compared with 5 million in 1997 The average number of distinct hosts served also increased from about 460001month to 670001month in 1998

To highlight content found in the site the homepage was redesigned and includes news items meeting deadlines and other time-sensitive aler ts with direct links to the sponsors pages for action The homepage is updated each week

Redactory Services ~lanagement of the Journal ofLeukocyte Biology the offishyal publication of the Society for Leukocyte Biology

-ontinued in 1998 Journal production was successfully transferred to a new printer and this helped to achieve the Llrget of mailing the journal on or before the first day of he issue month 1Welve monthly issues were produced

along with a supplement-the annual meeting program and member directory A second supplement containing the meeting program and abstracts for the 5th Internashyional Symposium on Dendritic Cells was also published n July 1 the online version of the journal was launched

at Wmiddotwjleukbioorg At the close of the year negotiations ere underway to install a manuscript tracking and online submission system for the Journal

The cooperative effort among several FASEB offices to receive and edit meeting abstracts and produce programs ontinued in 1998 Major projects included support for Experimental Biology 98 Society for Neuroscience American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Biophysical Society meetings Other clients served in this effort included the Association for Biomolecular Resource Facilities American College of Medical Genetics -merican Society for Virology The Protein Society and the Society for Leukocyte Biology More than 25000 abstracts were processed for these clients

This office also cooperated with the Office of Public Affairs to publish the Breakthroughs in Bioscience series of essays aimed at public education One such essay was ompleted Helicobactor Pylori and Ulcers a Paradigm

Revisited and a second Cloning Past Present and the Exciting Future will be printed in the spring of 1999

FASEB AdNet The advertising sales service continued its positive contrishybution in 1998 with record billings of more than 5650000 over two-thirds of which was returned to jourshynal clients to help defray the cost of their publishing programs These revenues were derived from the sale of ads in twelve life science journals one newsletter and four annual publications This positive performance was in contrast to a general downturn of about 10 in primary liie science advertising media (eg Science Genetics Engineering News etc)

Publications represented by AdNet are The FASEB Journal FASEB Newsletter The Journal ofBiological Chemistry The Journal ofNutrition The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Journal ofLeukocyte Biology Journal ofLipid Research American Physiological Society Publications F4SEB Directory ofMembers Expe rimental Biology Meeting Program SB~IB 98 Meeting Program The Protein Society Membership Directory

FASEB Marketing This effort primarily supports The FASEB Journal and FASEB Member Services An important project was completed in 1998 for the benefit of eight participating Society publishing programs Marketing obtained the foreign institutional subscriber list from these publicashytions and merged and deduplicated them Each participatshying Society then received a diskette containing all addresses not having a subscription to their specific jourshynal(s) This prospect list should be particularly helpful in expanding institutional subscriptions since each had purchased at least one FASEB title Efforts to broaden subscriptions for The FASEB Journal using this list among others began in late 1998

Despite several attempts to add new Member Services total royalties from these insurance and credit card programs have dropped over the past several years While these programs are not aggressively marketed one new legal services program was discontinued for failing to achieve a minimum number of enrollees 1Wo new senior life insurance and long-term care options have been added to the insurance offerings and will be marketed in 1999

Human Resources A Derek Knox Director

The Federation Staff continues to provide services to an ever-increasing number of people while reflecting a decrease in its own human resources as the accompanyshying chart indicates While the unduplicated membership in the Member Societies increased by 22 over the past six years and the combined society staffs increased by 38 the FASEB staff decreased by 11 This is a strong indication that technology and training has enabled the FASEB staff to provide more services for more people without any workforce growth of its own
