BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 17

It is proposed to build a data base in the General Eye Clinic, as well as in the Glaucoma, Retina, and Motility Clinics, for the more common dysfunctions of the eye. The primary concern is to use this data base for the development of clinical decision support. It is expected that much of the methodological and technological development proposed will be readily transplantable to other clinical settings. The principal and co-principal investigators, and their respective departments, currently are carrying out significant clinical research funded by the National Institutes of Health. The Chancellors at the two campuses recommend acceptance of this award and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination endorses the recommendation. I concur, subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

On motion of Mrs. Rader, this recommendation was approved. Application for Grant Funds under Title VI — Hill Burton Program of the Public Health Service Act, Urbana
