GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Stony Wold-Herbert Fund will support grants-in-aid for research, both clinical and basic, in the field of tuberculosis and allied chest diseases. The major emphasis of its research program is the support of investigators of outstanding ability through the support of their research work.

The desirability of grants-in-aid will be judged primarily by the likelihood of fruitful accomplishment as indicated by:

 

A.  The responsible investigator.

B.  The research climate of the institution where the work will be done.

C.  The merits of the research project.

Grants are awarded by the Board of Directors on the recommendations of the Medical Advisory Committee and are available to non-profit institutions which, in the opinion of the Committee, provide the necessary staff and research facilities to support the responsible investigators.

Consideration will be given to proposed research in the field of tuberculosis, allied chest diseases, and to related pulmonary ailments. Support is available for all basic disciplines of physiology, chemistry, and pathology which relate to respiratory diseases, as well as for clinical investigations.

No application will be considered unless completely executed, including signatures of Department Head and authorized institutional official.

Grants-in-aid will be awarded only to individuals working in institutions identified as Equal Opportunity Employers.

PROGRESS REPORTS AND PUBLICATIONS

Six-month and final reports are required, and the final report should also include full budget accounting.

It is expected that publications based on any study or research done during the period of grant-in-aid support will acknowledge the award and that a reprint is sent to the Stony Wold-Herbert Fund.
