BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[February 19

T h e Public Health Service Act authorizes Federal grant funds to assist in the construction of new facilities and the expansion, replacement, or rehabilitation of existing schools of medicine, osteopathy, dentistry, public health, pharmacy, optometry, podiatry, and veterinary medicine. I n the event the University acquires the right to use the building, it is possible that funds from this source can be made available for major assistance in the cost of remodeling. Requirements for the submission of an application for a grant include the adoption of a formal resolution by the governing board authorizing the filing of the application, including all understandings and assurances contained therein, and directing and authorizing the person identified as the official representative of the applicant to act in connection with the application and to provide such additional information as may be required. While the University will not apply for Federal funds until the space is committed to the University for its School of Public Health, the authorization to file an application is necessary at this time inasmuch as the deadline for filing an application is March 17, 1975. Accordingly, subject to the availability of the space, and in compliance with these regulations, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the resolution submitted herewith.
