East African Trypanosomiasis Research Organization. https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/items/7c72b1d7-9d5b-4cd8-97ea-accf1bc2f202https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/dspace/handle/0/7375This report is for the 1965 calendar year. In general, the year was full of activity and, having been fairly productive, could be adequately described as successful. There was a remarkable improvement in the staffing position and the remaining vacancy was that reserved for a Trainee undergoing postgraduate studies overseas. An African Veterinary graduate and one expatriate Research Officer were recruited during the year. An Entomologist working for the F.A.O. in Uganda was seconded to E.A.T.R.O. early in the year for a period of about two years. He does not, however, fill any of the established Research Officer posts but undertakes investigation within the E.A.T.R.O. Programme. It is gratifying to report that a number of applications for the posts of Research Officer were received during the year from both Overseas and East Africa. Although it was not possible to offer employment to all, the number of applications was an encouraging sign indicating the increasing awareness of many graduates of the existing facilities for scientific work in E.A.C.S.O. Research Organizations. The improvement in the Research Staff position resulted in a high level of research activity and consequently it was necessary to request additional financial assistance from other sources for the purchase of the requisite as well as up-to-date capital scientific equipment to cope with this increase.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Report73ProtozoologyAdministrationBiochemistryImmunologyEntomologyChemotherapy
