Scope and content
The Institute is sited at Regent's Park adjacent to the ZSL's Animal Hospital and Pathology Laboratories. The object of the Institute, as SZ explained at the first meeting of The Nuffield Institute Committee, the provisional governing body, on 19.1.60, "was to make full use of the valuable material derived from the various species of mammals, reptiles, birds, and other animals in the Society's Collections for purposes of comparative medical research". Dr L.G. Goodwin was appointed Director of the Institute.
The initial Nuffield Foundation Grant met £140, 000 of the estimated £350,000 needed to build and equip the Institute, and the ZSL contributed £110,000. An appeal was launched to raise the remaining £100,000, to be spent on capital equipment. In 1966 SZ successfully negotiated further funding from the Nuffield Foundation towards the running costs of the Institute.
