Sharp & Dohme Inc. has announced the award of a So„600 research, grant to the Pharmaceutical Foundation of the Uni versity of Texas. The grant, one of the first issued to the newly founded founda tion, will be used for an investigation oi a genus of fungi and its antibiotic proper ties. Research studies will be directed by Henry M. Buriage, dean of the University of Texas College of Pharmacy. GE Accepting Grant· Applications Applications for research grants are now being accepted under the $1 million Gen eral Electric Education Fund for the scholastic year 1951—52. Aid in grants up to S 1,500 annually will b e awarded to college graduates who wish to continue in dividual study and research in scientific and industrial fields. Applications for the fellowships must be filed by Jan. 1, 1951, and mailed to the Secretary, General Electric Co. Education Fund, Schenectady, Ν. Υ.
