Processing Grant Awards

As a result of the May 22-23 Council meeting, the following applications
received a number 1 rating and would appear ready for award, subject to
your concurrence:

$02 KM-00057~-018 University of Mississippi Medical Center

803 BM-00015-0181 University of Utah (also, the Homer Warner
project--based on the purchase rather than
lease of equipment).

802 RM-00006-0281 Duke University (Administrative increase $75,000)

This can be handled by increasing the second year

planning grant support by $75,000 since Duke has
an unbudgeted carry-over of $200,000 from the

first year planning funds.

The following applications received a number 2 rating and will require
discussion with the applicant prior to award:

$02 RM-00059-01 Pennsylvania Medical Society

802 BM-00060-01 North Dakota Medical Research Foundation

$02 RM-00061-01 University of Chicago

Dr. Marston--5/23/67 ~Ze

There are also in-process 9 continuation grant awards that should be
avarded prior to June 30, 1967 to contime existing programs.

The purpose of this meno is to outline the workload and prevent a
last sinete rush in preparing award statements prior to June 30, 1967.

Five weeks remain between now and June 30th. In addition, we have the
day-to-day workload, a holiday and a Program Coordinators’ meeting.
May I suggest that discussions be held with the six applicants
receiving a mmber 2 rating within the next two weeks, and that

a staff discussion of the $ continuation grant applications be
eonducted prier to June 9th. This would allow sufficient tine

for recefpt of additionsl information and adjusted budgets to

be received and avards mode pricr to June Sth.
