RF Annual Report - 1935 - The Rockefeller Foundation

amount $17,290 was expended. Sixteen different
projects were assisted, of which two were in
economics, six in medicine and
public health,
seven in natural sciences, and one in rural training.
In no instance was more than $3,000 appropriated
to a single project. These small sums of
money are of great value in assisting important
studies outside of the main
appropriations.
Sometimes the returns on a small grant may be
entirely out of proportion to the amount expended.
The research and developmental aid fund is
available for all branches of Foundation work in
China, but its chief purpose is to enable small
grants to be made in connection with the reconstruction
program.
