About this work

Description

Includes grant application to the National Foundation (USA), related correspondence with the Director of Research and other staff at The National Foundation (USA) regarding research projects and submission of grant applications (1972), interim reports, drafts of applications for follow-up grant, and offprints of articles on the potato and spina bifida.
