  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.
