Re: Louis A. Soloff, M.D.
Dr. Louis Soloff, as you know, is most articulate in
expressing his views on smoking and health. He is the recip-
ient of a current CTR grant for research on atherosclerosis
and, while NIH may not agree with his views in the smoking
area, he has recently received one of the few National Insti-
tutes of Health grants in biochemistry.
We report this because the grant evidences a recogni-
tion o.f Dr. Soloff and his co-workers as outstanding researchers.
There are presently very few individual NIH grants being awarded
and biochemistry is reported to be one of the most competitive
fields.
The three-year award is not only a reflection of the
importance with which Dr. Soloff's work is viewed, by NIH and
its advisors but will supplement Dr. Soloff's CTR grant so that
he will be able to proceed at an accelerated, pace.
