    9. Modern biomedical and health research is dependent upon international coo- peration and can only be adequately assessed in international comparison. Thus, international collaboration, especially within the framework of the EC, is becoming increasingly important in its own right. National health research funding activities and those of the EC mutually influence one another. The overriding objectives of the Federal Program also govern the German attitude toward the formation of the EC program on health research. In terms of non-European cooperation, working together with Israel, Japan, and the United States continues to receive top priority. The Federal Program, whose goals are set by health policy, develops, in rese- arch policy terms, from the dialogue with the relevant branch of science. In the Gesundheitsforschungsrat (GFR, Health Research Council), the BMFT has brought together representatives of science, and of its research and fun- ding organizations. In this way they can play the moderator in this dialogue, critically attending to the shaping and implementing of the health research program and evaluating its performance.
