Activities, Employment and Income of Physiologists

Abstract

The major functional activities of all types of scientists are research, teaching, and administration. The Survey questionnaire showed 3980 respondents to some extent engaged in research (Q, I, 73); 2520, in teaching (Q, I, 104). A more accurate measure is by time distribution, 4363 employed respondents spend approximately 54% of their total effort in research, 27% in teaching, 16% in administration, and 3% in other activities, including consulting. The detailed analyses of these replies, together with their projection in terms of average work-units or equivalent in full-time physiologists, are given in Tables V-1 and V-2.
