Html 28 LARGE-SCALE BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE tium1) have policies regarding the creation of unencumbered public-domain database resources similar to those of the publicly funded HGP. On the other hand, legislation2 passed in 1980 has encouraged academic scientists and others with federal funding to patent their findings in order to facilitate commercial development of the research. SUMMARY The ultimate goal of biomedical research, both large- and small-scale, is to advance knowledge and provide useful innovations to society.

In other words, a major intent of such projects is to enable the progress of smaller projects. Technological advances have created a need for data-rich foundations for many cutting-edge research proposals that are investigator initiated and hypothesis driven. Thus, many large-scale projects can be thought of as inductive or generating hypotheses, as opposed to deductive or testing hypotheses, the latter being more commonly the realm of smaller-scale research. Large-scale collaborative projects may also complement smaller projects by achieving an important, complex goal that could not be accomplished through the traditional model of single-investigator, smallscale research.

S.
