Beginning in 1922, the foundation awarded hundreds of fellowships to German scientists and institutions. Since U.S. and German relations were still uneasy at that time, most of these were administered through the foundation’s Paris office (Weindling 1989). By 1926, the foundation had given the equivalent of $4 million to German research. Even some German scientists were complaining about the Rockefeller Foundation’s control over German science (Weindling 1988).
