Five page typewritten proposal by Wilder Penfield. The document proposes and requests financial support for a "biopsy study of psychiatric patients". Penfield indicates the proposed research would be undertaken over a five year period. This study would have two components, a biopsy study and an experimental study to be carried out by a number of doctors including Dr. Penfield, Dr. Elvidge, Dr. Reed, Dr. McEachern, and Dr. Cone. The fourth and fifth pages detail the annual costs of the "dementia praecox investigation" and a list of additional anticipated expenses. The proposal is not dated.
