The main remit of the Council is to promote and support medical research
and this continues as in previous years, support taking the form of project
grants and funding of special research units as well as the Council
laboratories in Trinity College, Dublin. There have been a number of
important developments in the year under review.
The Council has been conscious for some time that much important
information on medical research does not reach those for whom it is
intended - individual investigators throughout the country. It was
therefore decided to publish a newsletter each January and July in the
lrish Medical Journals. The newsletter contains up-to-date information
on developments in medical research not only in Ireland but also in
Europe. Thus, the different types of funding available here are publicised
and the relevant happenings in Europe arc reported. The latter emanate
mainly from the EEC committees in Brussels and from the European
Medical Research Councils Group in Strasbourg which is a standing
committee of the European Science Foundation.
Two new research units were funded in 1983 - the Lung Fibre is Unit,
under the direction of Professor M. X. Fitzgerald in University College,
Dublin, and the Hospital Infection Unit under the direction of Professor
J. P. Arbuthnott in Trinity College and Professor C. T. Keane in St.
James's Hospital, Dublin. The Council considers that such research unit
funding is a particularly effective means of supporting programmes of
research over a number of years and plans to seek applications for three
units to start in January 1986. These will replace three of the original
units started in 1979.
