Sugar
Award
The $25,000 grand prize of the Sugar Research Foundation, Inc., will be awarded on o r about March 15, 1950. Following the awards of 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949, established by the foundation to stimulate scientific studies of sugar as a food and a s industrial raw material, which m a y lead to its greater usefulness, the grand prize will b e given for the dis covery which, in t h e opinion of the award committee, is most significant of the preceding five years. The recipient of the prize will be selected by a special committee of the National Academy of Sciences through the national science fund of that body. Nominations may be submitted b y any one and should be sent before Feb. 1, 1950, to the Executive Secretary, N a tional Science Fund, National Academy of Sciences. 2101 Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington 25, D .
