Abstract
A FIRST perusal of the report of the Medical Research Council for 1924–1925 shows its many-sided activities: there appears to be scarcely a branch of medical science in which investigations have not been carried on by members of the Council's staff or by other research workers receiving whole- or part-time grants. The great volume of work performed is due in great measure to the utilisation of facilities provided by the universities and other institutions, by means of grants-in-aid to the investigators working therein. Research work, therefore, throughout the country is co-ordinated through the medium of the Council; and as specific problems arise, plans for their investigation can be formulated and the work entrusted to those most qualified to deal with it. In addition, grants have been made for work within the programmes of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the Miners' Welfare Fund, the Dental Board of the United Kingdom, the League of Nations, the Field Newspaper Distemper Research Council, and the British Empire Cancer Campaign. The Council also makes the annual awards of the Rockefeller Fellowships, tenable in America by scientific workers in the British Isles.
