Report of The Research Grant Committee.

Twelve applications for research grants were made during the year. After enquiries ten of these were granted in full, one to a reduced extent, and in one case the Committee was unable to make a recommendation. The total amount granted was £750.

Reports from most of those operating grants were received but not from all. Grantees should be informed that unless the necessary annual report is supplied, further payments will be jeopardized. The reports were considered by the Committee, and abstracts, prepared by the Assistant Secretary, are appended.

With a view to introducing more apparent uniformity into the method of operating grants the Committee has made some suggestions to the Standing Committee regarding procedure.
