Funding Information:SIR,-Your Round the World correspondent (March 16, p 667) does not paint an accurate picture of British financial support for the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC). Such support has been well reasoned and generous. The rules are now being substantially changed, and the UK Overseas Development Administration (ODA) will come more into line with other international funding agencies, including those referred to in Canada and the Uruted States. British support has included grants from the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Foundation, but the greatest support over the years has been from ODA. ODA makes two grants to CAREC-one to the core programme, the other in the area of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. What is now being addressed by ODA is the core programme support; instead of a regular, voluntary (non-quota) contribution (which no other agency or country has ever made) ODA support for the core budget is to be replaced by a programme-linked budget. CAREC will make a detailed submission for such support yearly, just as we regularly apply for specific funding to organisations such as the US Agency for International Development and the Canadian International Development Agency. Rather than "actively u-ithdrawng its limited support", ODA is offering CAREC the opportunity of sustaining support through the medium of project proposals.
