Excerpt from Report of Program Activities: National Institute of Dental Research
After a period of growth which saw the appropriations provided to the National Institute of Dental Research rise from $10 million in FY 1960 to $30 million in FY 1968, the year ending June 30, 1969, was one of holding-the-line. While almost $30 million was appropriated for FY 1969, the Revenue and Expenditure Control Act of 1968 resulted in a cutback of $548,000 of which $270,000 was subsequently released to pay salary increases as required by Section 212 of the Federal Salary Act of 1967. After all cutbacks and adjustments, the net funding available for NIDR operations totaled $29,415,000 in 1969 as contrasted with a comparable total of $29,027,000 in FY 1968.
Another significant turn of events in FY 1969 occurred with respect to full-time permanent staff of the Institute. Simultaneously with the increase in appropriations, the full-time permanent staff had grown from 151 in 1960 to 322 in 1968. However, the latter number was reduced to 301 in FY 1969 under the requirements of the Revenue and Expenditure Control Act of 1968 which placed certain ceilings on Federal employment.
The two aforementioned restrictions imposed on the Institute as its share of an overall program to reduce Federal expenditures and employment, generated an intensive self-evaluation as to program and staffing priorities within the Institute. Among the determinations made were to continue the Caries Task Force effort as a top program priority and to maintain the categorical extramural programs at their authorized staffing level through, as it became necessary, the reassignment of intramural staff.
Reorganization of the National Institutes of Health gave impetus to an extensive study end analysis of the dental functions incorporated in the new NIH structure and as reflected by NIDR and the Division of Dental Health. This effort included the utilization of a group of prominent dental and medical educators-researchers in the provision of expert and authoritative advice and assistance from the outside community of dental and biomedical education and research. At the conclusion of the study, a formal report with recommendations as to the organization of dental functions within the expanded NIH was submitted to the Director of NIH for his consideration.
As a means of improving communication between NIDR and the dental schools of the country, a series of meetings with dental school deans and their research coordinators were undertaken.
