Although grants made under this program have ranged from the construction of relatively small additions to existing faciilties to the support of all necessary research areas in large medical centers, the trend in recent years has been in the direction of providing large, multipurpose faciilties. Specific examples of projects completed during the past year are the following:

Private nonprofit medical schools:

Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons,
New York, N.Y__

Construction of a new wing to the medical school for basic
and clinical research.

Yale University School of Medicine New Haven, Conn_-_

A new building to be connected with the Sterling Hall of Medicine, for research in epidemiology and public health. Public medical schools:

University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah__

A large medical center complex for basic and clinical research. University of Tennessee and City of Memphis Hospitals, Memphis, Tenn____

A new medical science research building attached to the new hospital.

We are requesting $15 million in this appropriation with which we intend to emphasize the construction of facilities in new or expanding medical schools. II. The program for centers for research on mental retardation and related aspects of human development is supported under authority of title VII, part D of the Public Health Service Act, which authorizes a total of $26 million over a 4-year period beginning in 1964. The intent of the legislation is to insure the rapid development of a significant number of new, comprehensive centers for research in all aspects of mental retardation. In order to stimulate university scientists to enter this field and administrative personnel of universities to make commitments to this effort, a Federal matching share of up to 75 percent is authorized.

Since the inception of this program a total of 16 applications have been received requesting $33,440,305 of which 5 grants totaling $13,740,000 have been awarded, 1 application has been disapproved and 10 applications requesting $15,422,904 are under review at the present time.

A series of planning conferences with grantees has been initiated so as to provide assurance that the completed facilities will be adequately designed, properly financed, and suitable for the research programs which have been proposed. When completed, these projected facilities will represent the latest in research centers for mental retardation, and will be distributed so as to provide research services in mental retardation to those areas where there is the largest concentration of potential research subjects.
