Research grants totaling more than one million dollars were awarded during the past fiscal year by Research Corporation, a nonprofit educational and scientific foundation with offices in New York City, according to the organization’s annual report. Research Corporation is now supporting more than four hundred active projects in American colleges, universities, and scientific institutions under the postwar program of Frederick Gardner Cottrell grants, initiated in 1945 to help rebuild the war‐depleted supply of research scientists.
