ership in medicine should be vveiglied 

 as heavily as past performance in re 

 search work. Fellows are to be en- 

 couraged to take further work in the 

 fundamental sciences to remedy any 

 deficiencies in a contemplated re- 

 search career, but fellowships are not 

 to be used to pro\'ide residencies, or 

 primarily for obtaining postgraduate 

 degrees or for qualifying for Certifi- 

 cation by the Specialty Boards. 



Fellowships are primarily intended 

 to enable men to recei\'e research 

 training and to engage in acti\'e re- 

 search, but they should include ex- 

 perience in teaching or the clinical 

 care of patients, as these exercises are 

 essential to balanced research train- 

 ing and are imperatiye if a Fellow is 

 to fit himself for. maximal usefulness 

 in medicine or the medical sciences. 



Fellowship stipends are to be de- 

 termined by the Foundation with due 

 consideration of uni\'ersity salaries 

 paid persons with equivalent training 

 and experience, and to the desira- 

 bility of encouraging relatively senior 

 men to devote themsehes to research. 



Research expenses of a Fellow may 

 be met by the Foundation. If an in- 

 stitution matches insurance or an- 

 nuity payments bv its faculty, a 

 similar payment is to be added by the 

 Foundation to the Fellow's stipend. 



A fellowship is to lapse automati- 

 cally if a Fellow transfers to another 

 institution without approxal by the 

 Foundation. 



c. GrafJts-in-aid 



On application, grants-in-aid ex- 

 tending for 1 to 10 years may be 

 made to universities, medical schools, 

 or other nonprofit scientific institu- 

 tions for the support of specific proj- 

 ects or of specified investigators. Ap- 

 plications for grants-in-aid are to 

 carry the endorsement of the appli- 

 cant institution. Formal discussions 



concerning renewal should be com- 

 pleted prior to the beginning of the 

 last third of the period of the grant. 



Reasonable overhead expenses may 

 be included in the financial statement 

 accompanying a request for a grant, 

 but overhead payments are not to be 

 automatic. 



Reports are to be submitted under 

 each grant as required by the Foun- 

 dation. Equipment purchased under 

 a grant is to become the property of 

 the institution to which the grant is 

 made. 



If a request for a grant or for the 

 extension of a grant is refused, the 

 applicant institution may appeal di- 

 rectly to the board of trustees for a 

 review. 



Coordination and Initiation 

 of Research 



The Foundation is to consider 

 methods designed to stimulate re- 

 search, to impro\'e research conditions 

 in institutions where it is now not 

 well developed, to effect coordination 

 among investigators working in a 

 common field, and to facilitate publi- 

 cation, dissemination, and experi- 

 mental application of scientific in- 

 formation. 



The Foundation is to initiate and 

 support such new research work as 

 may be indicated, but it is not itself 

 to enpage in research. Its integrative 

 and catalytic efforts are to be carried 

 out by recommendation and invita- 

 tion rather than by direction. 



3. Reports 



The Foundation is to report annu- 

 ally to the President, in the form he 

 requests, on the progress of work car- 

 ried out under its authority. With 

 the President's approval, all or part of 

 the annual report is to be published.
