Strategy for basic-applied research interaction.

Proposes that it is possible to design adequate, basic research with parameters based on (1) analysis of real-life situations, (2) hypotheses on the functions involved, and (3) laboratory studies on these functions. This proposal is made in light of J. A. Adams's (see record 1973-05590-001) contention that basic research must precede and support applied research in any area.
