Data from the FASEB Directory of Members and NIH were used to develop a statistical profile of the members of FASEB Societies. For the U.S.‐based scientists (exclusive of retired and student members), the most frequently reported degree was a research doctorate (69.6%). A substantial fraction, however, reported medical degrees (19.2%) or both research and medical degrees (8.0%). The majority of members of FASEB Societies listed academic affiliations in the directory. Industrial affiliations were reported, however, in 9.7% of the entries with smaller fractions listing associations with hospitals, independent research institutes, and government agencies. Just over one‐fourth of the members of FASEB Societies were principal investigators on NIH research grants. These investigators received one‐half of all NIH grants and nearly 60% of the RO1 grants—Garrison, H. H., Lahiri, S., Stephens, D.
