and can probably be supported. We can prepare the study design,
and provide the necessary staff and equipment to assist your

personnel.

and may be supported

For its success, the project will require your recommendation
of two staff members ~ a registrar~psychiatrist and a project
coordinator. The registrar should receive some training with us,
and be responsible for the medical-psychiatric aspects of each
experimental session. If he were available now, it may be useful
to have him participate in the actual proposal-writing. The
project coordinator should be capable of identifying the subjects
and arranging for their availability for study. Such a
person, if
named now, could also participate in the write-up.

I would like to recommend the active participation of Drs.
