Scope and content
While the bulk of funding for the Lipid Research Project came from the US National Institutes of Health (see A2002-0009), funding for additional studies was sought from Canadian sources, mainly the OHF (the Ontario Heart Foundation and now the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation) and the national organization, Canadian Heart Foundation (now the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation).
Files in this series contain copies of grant applications, correspondence, and curriculum vitae for researchers and fellowship/scholarships applications for research associates involved in these studies. Studies include “Continuing Development of Nutrition Counseling Service for Patients with Hyperlipoproteinemia” and the “Study of Effect of Sugar in Practical Controlled Fat Diets on Serum Lipids in Hyperlipoproteinemia Patients”. Also included are files relating to the GXT (Graded Exercise Test) and ECG (Electrocardiogram) Labs for the purposes of the Prevalence and Coronary Prevention Trial subjects. This series also contains records relating to the first discovery of patients with APO (Apolipoprotein) CII Deficiency.
In addition to receiving funding from the OHF, Dr. Little and his team applied for funds from Health and Welfare Canada and the US Department of Health, and the National Institutes of Health, Atkinson Foundation, J.P. Bichell Foundation, Connaught Labs, Medical Research Council of Canada and St. Michael’s Hospital Research Society.
