Applications for the general grants would be made by schools of medicine, dentistry, and public health and reviewed by the National Advisory Health Council. COST OF LEGISLATION No additional appropriations are required to carry out this legislation since a percentage of the regular appropriations made for research. grants by the National Institutes of Health would be set aside for the making of the institutional research grants provided for in this legislation. |
