Research Fund Report
Published in The Journal of the National Dental Association, 1915.
* * *
We, herewith, publish in detail the amounts of cash and subscriptions received to date from the various states and their chief cities. This report includes only the cash and pledges that have reached the Chairman by April 15, 1915. Several states have reported more than is shown in these figures but the signed subscriptions, or their equivalent, have not yet been received. In many communities only one payment is due, while in others two and three, which, in a large part, accounts for the difference in the ratio of payments to pledges. Several states are planning to take the work up at their spring and summer meeting.
The total cash and subscriptions to date,
April 15, 1913, for which the pledges are in hand, are—$48,692.43
The total cash received to date—12,312.50 (Including $1079.00, organization expense contributed by Chairman.)
The researches of last year cost, as per report in October issue—4,378.06
Organization expense to Jan. 1, 1914—1,079.00
The budget for this year is—8,000.00
Balance due to meet this year’s budget—1,144.66
This money is being used for paying technicians, for laboratory expenses, etc. No money is paid to the various directors of researches. The seemingly imperative research work that we must push next year is so urgent that our budget must, if possible, be double what it is this year. This will be possible if some of the states that have not acted as yet do so promptly. Those who have made subscriptions will see the necessity of making their payments promptly as they come due.
The following is a detailed statement:
A financial statement of the Scientific Foundation and Research Commission’s fund, giving the amounts by states, as well as some of the larger cities of each state.
The above report is being modified from day to day as subscriptions are being received and we shall be very glad for any suggestions or corrections.
Respectfully submitted:
Weston A. Price , Chairman.
