The trust was founded and endowed in April, 193/, by Sir Dorabji Tata, of Bombay, as a memorial to his wife, Lady Tata, to promote the advancement of medicine by research into the diseases of the blood. The awards will be open to candidates of any nationality. The trustees are advised by ai. advisory committee having its headquarters in London, and including Continental representatives, and by an Indian committee in India. In June, 1933, the first four Lady Tata Research Scholarships were awarded. Announcement is now made that two further scholarships of the value of £4OO a year each, will be open for work in the subject of blood diseases, with special reference to leucaemias. Each will be tenable for a year, from October 1, 1935, and renewable up to a normal maximum tenure of three years. The scholarships will ordinarily be awarded on a whole-time basis, but a candidate holding a parttime teaching post may be allowed to retain this if, in the opinion of the trustees as advised by the committee, his duties will not prevent him from giving his chief interests and energies to his proposed research work. Candidates for these scholarships must send their applications in time to be received in London on April 15, addressed to the secretary, Scientific Advisory Council, 138 Bedford Court Mansions, London. Applications which are delayed by special circumstances will be accepted up to April 30, but in no case later.
