LADY TATA MEMORIAL TRUST
The Lady Tata Memorial Trust was
established by Sir Dorabji Tata in April 1932 in memory of his wife, Lady
Meherbai, who was struck with leukaemia in 1930 at the age of 50, and succumbed
to the disease a year later in Wales, when she passed away on 18th June 1931.
International Awards
The Trust spends four-fifths of its
income on international research, and an International Scientific Advisory
Committee, based in London, invites applications for Awards for individual
support for research on leukaemia worldwide through advertisement and on the
trust's website. Awards are restricted to studies of leukaemogenic agents, and
the epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunology and genetic basis of leukaemia and
related diseases. Applications not directly related to the field of leukaemia
are not considered. These awards are open to suitably qualified investigators
of any nationality. Priority is given to those intending to move to other

laboratories. The academic year for these awards is October-September. To know
