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." 1 ■B V ',j * f 3p ■|y >f j * DR.
