The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and the National Science Foundation funded $8,050,990 for medical research and teaching at Harvard during the last three months of fiscal year 1967.
The grants--some totaling as much as $70,000 apiece--were made to the Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.
The money will finance studies of blindness, community mental health, comparative metabolism, and antibody production. Also included in the donations are funds for residency requirements in psychiatry, the training of surgeons, and an international comparative study of medical care.
No Cut
With the announcement of the grants--193 in all--the University appears to have weathered the first series of major cuts in Federal funds for medical research.
Although the $8 million represents only grants for the last quarter of 1967, Henry Meadow, Assistant Dean for Financial Affairs at the Medical School said yesterday that "the overall money value of this year's grants is about the same as last year."
Cuts at U. of M.
Recently $23.5 million in Federal money slated for new construction at the $80 million University of Massachusetts Medical School was cut from the Federal budget. Officials at the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare said that the money was not available because of the Vietnam war.
