the nation. This project will
permit scientists at predomi
nantly black institutions to par
ticipate in biomedical research
efforts, with funds which were
difficult to come by in the
A. "
past.
The research project will be
directed by Dr. Walter Sullivan,
chairman of A&T's Department
of Chemistry. Initial research
projects will be conducted by
Sullivan and eight other faculty
members in the university's de
partments of chemistry, engi
neering and biology.
"The overall goal of this
program," said Sullivan "will be
to develop a first rate biomedi
cal research program at A&T.
Successful completion of the
. program should be a stepping
stone for the attraction of even
greater funds for this kind of
research."
Sullivan pointed out that in
past years, predominantly black
colleges have gotten very few
of the federal funds available
for biomedical research.
"We have submitted propo
sals," said Sullivan, "but the
federal agencies in evaluating
them, always seemed to com
pare them with Harvard Uni
versity and Yale. Those people
have the facilities and equip
ment and they always ended
up with the funds."
"What this new program
means," added Sullivan, " is
that now scientists at black col
leges have a chance to get
started in this kind of research.
Eventually, we may be able to
compete on an equal footing
with the larger institutions and
to demonstrate that we have
something to offer to the na
tion's research efforts."
