Announcement Genetic Research with Nonhuman Primates: Serving the Needs of Mankind The Southwest Foundation Forum will host an international symposium entitled 'Genetic Research with Nonhuman Primates: Serving the Needs of Mankind', in San Antonio, Texas, on 2-5 March 1986. Invited speakers will present papers in the areas of biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, immunogenetics, molecular genetics, population genetics, and genetic predisposition to common diseases. Contributed papers also will be accepted for presentation. A Distinguished Scientist Award in Genetics and a cash prize of $1000 will be made to a geneticist who has already made significant contri-

butions in health-related basic research and has demonstrated great potential for future achievement. The recipient, who need not necessarily have worked with nonhuman primates, will be invited to present a keynote address at the symposium. Please send requests for information and letters of nomination for the Distinguished Scientist Award to" John L. VandeBerg, Director Department of Genetics, Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, P.O. Box 28147, San Antonio, TX 78284 (U.S.A.). Letter of nomination must be received by I July 1985.
