April 23, 2002

Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta has been awarded a $4.2 million grant to research treatments for diseases such as sickle cell anemia and AIDS. The three-year grant from the National Institutes of Health creates a General Clinical Research Center with seven patient beds, five bays for receiving intravenous drugs, nine nurses and several doctors. About 95 similar centers exist nationwide. When it opens later this month, patients will be able to enroll in 18 clinical trials of treatments for conditions that particularly affect minorities and the poor.
