Applications are called, for the 2002 Kanematsu Memorial Award. This Award is made annually by the Kanematsu Fund in memory of the Founder, Fusajiro Kanematsu and his wife Sen. The College is grateful to the directors of the Kanematsu Fund who have committed to maintenance of the Fund and thereby to the annual Award. They have stipulated that, because of the strong association of the name Kanematsu with Sydney, the Department or Unit in which the research is to be undertaken must be situated in the Greater Metropolitan Region of Sydney. The Award is available only to medically qualified researchers, though such persons do not have to be Fellows or Trainees of the College.
Previous applicants remain eligible.
A Head of Department is not precluded from applying for the Award, but must indicate that the Chief Executive Officer, General Manager or other appropriate supervisory individual is aware and approves of the application. Six copies of the description of the proposed project must accompany the Application Form. Applications will be considered by a Committee set up for the purpose by the Executive Committee of the College. The Committee will consist of pathologists with a strong record of practice and research in haematology. It is anticipated that the successful applicant will have been chosen by February 2002.
