Funding Science: An Immense Challenge The real challenge in science
should be hypothesis formation, experimental design and conducting
the actual research under rigorous control and experimental condi
of tions with the best available equipment/infrastructure. However,
in many parts the world, the real challenge in science is trying to
obtain some minimal amount of funding to initiate research. Every
country in the world is challenged with an im mense number of
interconnected environmental and health problems. Examples in clude
biologically and chemically contaminated water and soil, air
pollution, waste and sewage treatment, a multitude of infectious
diseases in humans, animals and plants, global change, population
growth, alternate energy sources, deforestation, floods, crop
production and so on. Solutions to these national and international
problems require training and re search to ensure the best
available people and knowledge are available to man age and/or
solve these problems. This can only be accomplished if the research
community has the funding to conduct priority research and apply
the knowledge globally. The challenge in science should be
discovering the unknown and col laborative research/training of new
scientists. Too often the challenge is how to conduct research
without proper support. Many scientists are likely of the opinion
that it is not their jobs/careers that is stressful, but the
inability to do their research properly, that is stressful. Good
research in a knowledge based economy requires proper funding.
