GRANTS-IN-AID ANNOUNCEMENT

Since 1960 one-year seeding grants

(up to $15,000) have been awarded by
the Scientific Advisory Council to
DISCUS for alcohol research projects
in the biomedical and behavioral
sciences. Nearly 400 separate pro-
jects at more than 200 universities
and research centres, primarily in the
U.S. and Canada, have focused on the
biochemistry, physiology and pharma-
cology of ethanol, as well as on psy-
chological and sociological dimensions
of the normal, customary use of bever-
age alcohol and the consequences of
excessive drinking and alcoholism.

This announcement affirms the con-
tinuing interest of the distilled spir-
its industry in supporting such re-
search. Awards are made by the Sci-
entific Advisory Council on the basis
of scientific merit. Grantees re-
serve the right of inquiry and publi-
cation in the media of their choice.
Applications are reviewed quarterly.

The Council continues to accept pro-
posals on the basis of the applicants'
choice of subject(s). In addition,
the Council also accepts applications
for the following specific topics:

1 - Relationship between alcohol con-
sumption patterns and human health
and longevity.

2 - Effects of alcohol on fetal devel-
opment.

ric disorders.
