9. The Indian Research Fund Association maintains two large organi-
zations of a semi-permanent nature, viz., the Malaria Survey of India
(now called the Malaria Institute of India) and the Nutrition Research
Laboratories at Coonoor. The major importance of these subjects is
considered to justify a considerable expenditure on them and the retention
over a prolonged period of specially trained and experienced staff for
them. A large Commission on Kala-azar was maintained during the
period when this disease was seriously epidemic and research on Plague,
Cholera, Leprosy and similar subjects has been heavily financed by the
Association.
10. The Scientific Advisory Board appoints Advisory Committees to
assist them in regard to most of the major subjects. Such Committees
have been formed for Malaria, Nutrition, Cholera, Plague, Leprosy, Rabies
and Tuberculosis. All work on these subjects is reviewed by the Advisory
Committees and recommendations made as to future work.
