International Research Scholars 
In recognition of the contributions of scientists outside of the United States to advances in biomedi- 
cal science, the Institute initiated in 1991 its International Research Scholars Program. This is a 
limited experimental effort that provides research support through five-year grants to promising 
scientists working in areas of fundamental biomedical research related to the Institute's ongoing 
medical research programs. 
The investigators invited to compete for the initial grant awards were located in Canada and Mexico. 
From those invited to compete, 24 were selected (14 in Canada, 10 in Mexico). Grants also were 
awarded to the Mexican Academia de la Investigacion Cientifica and to the United States National 
Academy of Sciences for joint activities over four years to promote the exchange of scientific informa- 
tion and encourage cooperation between the scientific communities in each country, particularly in 
the life sciences. 
The next phase of the international program will focus on biomedical scientists in the United 
Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The emphasis remains on the support of outstanding scientists 
whose research careers are still developing, rather than those in the later phases of a distinguished 
career. Grant awards for this second group will be announced late in 1992.
