Lack of Funds
Seen as Gripping
FIGHT on Malaria

The World Health Organiza-
ton has expressed fear that
lack of funds may force a
gripping cutback in its cam
paign to fight malaria.
A recent report said that less
than $8.4 million of the $l.6s
billion needed to lid the world
of the disease is now in the
hands of the health organiza-
ton.
DR.. M. G. Candau, director
general of the group. said that
81 million will be needed for the
1860 campaign alone.
He foresees a financial crisis
next year unless foreign gov
Iernments are prepared to con-
tribute voluntarily to the spe-
cial malaria account.
In 1855, the World Health
Assembly, which held its 18th
meeting recently in Geneva
voted to carry out the malaria
campaign and established q
special account to finance it.

at NH is the Program of
Clinical Associateship. This be-
gan in 1853 with the opening
of the Clinical Center.
From a practical standpoint,
these ia clinical associates
are not only engaged in re-
search, but are actually car
ing for the patients.
The clinical associate is the
junior member of a research
team. Top medical graduates
with one or more years of
speciality training beyond in
ternship are considered. But to
be even "minimally eligible"
they must have demonstrated
research ability or interest.
$500 Apply
! Some $500 doctors apply
each year-that's one fifth OF
the total number of medical
school graduates each year in
this country. About 200 appear
good enough to be interviewed
and up to 60 are accepted.
This two-year program is
similar to approved residency
programs in accredited hospi-
tails, except the emphasis is on
research.
Most clinical associates re-
ceive a year of credit toward
admission to speciality boarc
examinations by individual ne
gotians.
At first, in 1858, representa-
tives of many of the country's
medical institutions were fear
full that NH would raid them
of their best men, leaving them
only the second best.
But the opposite has proved
to be true and other institu-
tions realize it now.

leadership in laboratory re-
search.
This program, for which no
degree is given, is believed to
be unique,
DR.. James A, Shannon. direc-
tor Of NH, recently empha-
sized the need for men trained
in basic research discipline to
take part in modern medical
research.
This type of training is not
found in medical and dental
schools, which aim their courses
toward the actual practice OF
medicine,
Two Partial Solutions
y DR.. Murray C. Brown, chief
of clinical and professional ed
lucation at NH, declared that
there have been only two ways
the medical school graduate
can obtain the necessary back
ground for investigative work
He may study one of the basic
sciences full time in a gradu-
ate school. Or, there is the
possibility of an apprentice
ship" for a year or two in one
of the country'S active research
eenters.
Neither of these solutions is
ideal" DR.. Brown declared.
THE teaching programs,
according to a NH outline of
the new program, 'in the grad
uate schools, designed as they
are for Ph.D. candidates. offer
intensive training in selected
areas but do not usually offer
extensive training" The zap
premiership" too is likely to
be confined to one or more
highly specific research tech
niqueS.
Frequently there is no OPP
portunity for further formal
training and no time to acquire
breadth and perspective"
Trained in Research
With these problems in mind
NH established its unofficial
abbreviated Ph.D." course. The
object: To send doctors trained
in basic laboratory research to
other areas.
The course is known as the
Research Associate Program.
The associates COME here after
internship or their first year of
reSidency and stay for two
years.
During the first year they
spend over 260 hours of extern
sive lectures dealing with basic
medical and allied sciences.
These range from mathematics
and physical chemistry to
microbiology and biochemistry.
The second year sees a series
OF seminars in special topics
which are generally conducted
by the associates themselves.
Most of their time, however, is
actually spent in laboratory
research under the supervision
OF a preceptor. Each associate
chooses his field and works
under a research leader in that
field.
Two years ago NH contacted
leading medical institutions
which picked out many Of their
top interns and residents. They
were invited to apply. About
so applied and IA were &C
cepted. One left before the
course was completed.
Grant No Degrees
NH is not and cannot be a
degree granting institution.
Congress was promised this be-
fore construction appropriate
lions were made for the Clin-
ical Center which houses pa
tients and laboratories. NH is
strictly a group of research
institutions.
But it readily became ap-
parent that research and teach
ing are inseparable. DR.. Joseph
E. Smadel, associate director
of NH, said that one of the
jobs of the researcher is to
train the next generation. And
said another, the researcher
can only perpetuate himself
and his work through his stu
dents.
