years.
One of the new projects, to be conducted
by researchers at St. Joseph's Hospital in
Hamilton, will study the frequency of occur-
rence of depression among senior citizens in
the Hamilton -Wentworth area. The study,
which has been awarded $110,741, will in-
clude evaluation of an educational program
to control depression.
Another new project will compare kidney
cancer patients with healthy people of the
same age, sex, and residential area to deter-
mine what factors may increase risks of get-
ting the disease. Researchers at the Univer-
sity of Toronto have been awarded $47,169
for the study.
"Excellence in research is a cornerstone
of our health care system," Mr. Elston said.
"These awards reflect our continuing com-
mitment to maintaining quality health
services."
The projects were recommended for fun-
ding by the Health Care Systems Research
Review Committee, an external advisory
chaired by Dr. Ian McDowell of the depart-
ment of epidemiology and community
medicine at the University of Ottawa.
The $3 -million for the health sciences cen-
•
tres comes from Ontario lottery funds which
were allocated to the Ministry of Health for
research. It has been divided among the five
centres as follows: $400,000 each to Queen's
University in Kingston and the University of
Ottawa, $500,000 to the University of
Western Ontario in London, $550,000 to
McMaster University in Hamilton, and $1.15
million to the University of Toronto.
The money provides a one-time opportuni-
ty to acquire, install, or upgrade equipment
required for research conducted in clinical
settings such as teaching hospitals.
The health sciences centres will be re-
quired to obtain ministry approval for
equipment purchases or improvements
costing more than $100,000, and they will be
responsible for ,operating and maintanance
