Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) SERIES TITLE Research Medicine and Radiation Biophysics Historical Files INCLUSIVE DATES 1957 1979 ARRANGEMENT Varies VOLUME 11 cubic feet DESCRIPTION This series documents development of nuclear radiation techniques for medical research at Donner Laboratory. Included are slides of experiments, grant proposals (both funded and not funded from 1966 to 1974), and films of Donner research, for both public and medical audiences. The grant proposal folders contain UC Request for Report of Inventions, Notice of Grants Awarded by the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare, detailed budget sheets, Application for Research Grant Continuation Support, Summary Progress Reports, Notice of Research Project, and Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects approval memos. It appears that human involvement in these studies is limited to blood plasma/lipoproteins studies, but the project descriptions are lacking in some of these folders. Photographs of Donner staff from the 1950s, funding source lists, and articles are also present.
