$20,340 For Research Granted To University
Two research grants totalling $20,340 from the U.S. Public Health service to the University are for continuation of work already underway.
The grants were announced yesterday in Washington, D.C., by Oscar R. Ewing, federal security administrator.
Dr. William C. Young, professor of anatomy, was allotted $15,300 for a fourth year of study on the relationship of certain glandular functions to the reproductive process of mammals. Currently the effects of thyroid gland secretions in guinea pigs are being investigated. Dr. Young is directing a staff of seven.
Research associates on the study are Mina Brown, Jerome A. Grunt, Roy R. Peterson and Donald H. Ford, all graduate students in anatomy.
Previous U.S.P.H.S. support of the project amounted to about $45,000.
Dr. Cora M. Downs, professor of bacteriology, received a grant of $5,040 for a fifth year of research on the pathogenesis of immunity to tularemia. Previous support totalled $16,000.
The study involves injecting rats, mice, rabbits and guinea pigs with various strains of the tularense bacterium and study of reactions and development of immunity resulting from infection and recovery. Max Moody, a graduate student, is the research assistant.
Grants of $5,300 to Drs. Paul W. Schafer and C. Frederick Kittle and $3,564 to Dr. William P. Williamson were made for research in surgical problems. The work will be done at the University of Kansas Medical center in Kansas City.
