MEDICAL SCHOOL TRAINING PROGRAM (continued ) of radiation. It was believed, however, that certain limitations should be placed on the institution or individuals involved. The medical school should have an isotopes license and the man responsible for the training should be requested to present a description of the proposed program including the course to be given, the number and type of students and whether it is to be & graduate or undergraduate course. They should also provide a list of facilities and equipment needed and also facilities existing at the time of application. 4, It was decided that not over $30,000 would be given for the first year and not over $12,500 for subsequent years with a limit of five years for any institution. Each university would be limited to one five-year program for each of its medical schools. This would limit large medical schools with several university hospitals to a single program. It was also decided that such a program may be included in the bio-chemistry program of a medical school, if desired by the institution. DR. SHILLING pointed out that the same problem would have to be worked out for the distribution of funds for the biology programs in universities by Dr. Pearson. This undoubtedly would be a more difficult problem because of the greater number of colleges in the country. DR. (Approximately 652 according to Dr. Warren) BURNETT pointed out that there might be some schools needing small items of equipment to supplement existing programs. It was felt that this should be limited to $2,500 as an outright gift. The matter of paying faculty members was discussed and it was believed that this was inevitable and in the cade of NIH grants, has been quite successful. Personnel in this case are usually paid at @ low level without tenure. The university should be permitted to allow this for technical help rather than provisienai help if de- sirable. Prefteen nl DR. GLASS warned of a possible danger if the medical portion of the plan is inaugurated before the biological part because of intramural competition within the universities. It should be decided whether e grant to a medical school of a university excludes the possibility of a grant to the biology division. DR. BURNETT ex- pressed the opinion that it was the general feeling of the ad hoc committee that a prior gift should not prejudice any future gifts to the other department. It was believed, however, that the two phases should not be initiated as one program. Since there was considerably greater similarity with the madical phases and medical grants, these could be used as guides for the subsequent biological t fi —i program. DR. SHILLING said that discussions with the Reactor Development Division resulted in the conclusion that other details should be worked out before any announcement is to be made. He also said that it had heen decided that consideration be given to
