Clinical cancer trials are supported by a combination of research sponsors, institutions, and third-party payers. However, it is unclear what additional costs-if any-are associated with treatment in a government-sponsored cancer trial. The National Cancer Institute, the National Institutes of Health, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy have a strong interest in estimating these costs so that informed policy decisions can be made about how to finance clinical trial research. This report documents the design and methods of the Cost of Cancer Treatment Study (see www.costofcancer.org), a retrospective study designed to provide precise and generalizable estimates of the additional costs, if any, associated with clinical cancer research. Principal funding comes from the National Cancer Institute, with additional funding from the Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health, and from the National Science Foundation, as part of its support for the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy. These offices as well as individuals in the cancer research community will be interested in this report on the design and methods of the study and the results of the study itself.

Firefighters, law enforcement officers, and emergency medical service responders play a critical role in protecting people and property in the event of fires, medical emergencies, terrorist acts, and numerous other emergencies. The authors examine the hazards that responders face and the personal protective technology needed to contend with those hazards. The findings are based on in-depth discussions with 190 members of the emergency responder community and are intended to help define the protective technology needs of responders and develop a comprehensive personal protective technology re
