T h e DSCC, in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services, has concluded that a proposal by the Health Services Foundation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Cross/Blue Shield Associations, will best satisfy the requirements of the study. T h e chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended that the Board of Trustees authorize the study with the Health Services Foundation. T h e subcontract will not be executed until the funds are received by the University. T h e Department of Health and Human Services plans to transfer a total of $144,346 to the DSCC for the study and its management. T h e University will retain $13,122 for costs associated with administering the funds; the subcontract with the Health Services Foundation will not exceed $131,224. T h e executive vice president concurs in this recommendation, subject to the receipt of funds from the Department of Health and Human Services. I recommend approval. O n motion of M r . Forsyth, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, M r . Forsyth, M r . H a h n , M r . H o w a r d , M r . M a d d e n , M r . Neal, Mrs. Shepherd, M r .

The project is "to develop an inventory of Chicago area health professions programs with an emphasis on information about program length, transfer potential to other programs, admissions requirements, tuition and fees, and special assistance for minority students interested in health careers." T h e chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended that the Board of Trustees authorize a subcontract with C O M P R A N D , Inc., to develop the inventory and to negotiate the participation of the Illinois Institute of Technology in the project.
