HUMAN EPICARDIAL FAT CYTOKINES AND CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS: Research Grants given to a number of Universities that have Molecular Sciences and Medical Research Departments, currently with the Stanford University,University of Missouri in the United States, and the University of Nottingham, in the United Kingdom.In prior years with University of Indiana, and the University of Tennessee, Memphis,TN.Research. Dr, Harold S. Sacks collaborated with these Universities , which resulted in various medical papers being published in reputable medical journals.(Note Dr. Harold S. Sacks does not receive any grants, all grants are paid to the research entities mentioned above.)PRESIDENT'S PROPOSAL IN DECEMBER 2021:1. As recorded and in keeping with the minutes of the 2019/2020 meetings, the President scaled down funding in 2020 and 2021 by halting awards to Nottingham and MissouriUniversities but not Stanford nor UCLA. The Board members had advised the President that it was his prerogative to decide on the future research direction of the Foundation.Accordingly, at this meeting, the president advised the Board of his intention to terminate the Foundations activities on December 31,2021. He thanked all Board members for their advice and guidance as well as their important contributions to the administration of the Foundation and the attainment of its academic goals, especially the successful publication of 32 papers in top scientific journals from 2008 until 2021 from research made possible by funded Foundation projects. Members endorsed this plan and proposed a vote of thanks to the President for his work over the years. The President proposed to donate $7000.00 of the balance of accounts 7109.64 to Dr Tracey McLaughlins ongoing research on epicardial fat at Stanford University leaving $109.6 to cover expenses incurred in terminating the Foundations operations. This was accepted by the Board. 3. Research Activities: (i)Publications: In 2021, 2 new papers were published in peer-reviewed, highly rated medical journals. These 2 papers were added to the list of scientific papers generated from CDRF-funded projects from 2008 until 2021 now totaling 32 [See Appendix 1 included as part of the minutes]. (ii) Ongoing Projects: Due to the closure of the foundations activities on December 31,2021, no more projects will be funded$150$9,400
