From 1946-52 D N’s research was supported by the Medical Research Council. In 1952, however, the MRC declined her request for a further extension of her grant on procedural grounds, not wishing to provide long-term funding by renewing short-term grants. She received support from the Broodbank Fund 1952-55 and from the Agricultural Research Council thereafter. 3 files as follows:
1. 1949-51;
2. 1952: includes memo to Sir Harold Himsworth from D N, 28 January, outlining her work from 1920, and ‘Statement of career’ and ‘Outline of research program’ for her application to the Broodbank Fund;
