VaccineEthics.org: The Arrival of the Salk Polio Vaccine: Documents from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library: "By the late 1940s, researchers around the country were supported by the National Foundation, studying the virus and testing strategies that might lead to a safe and effective vaccine against polio. Among these researchers were Drs. John Enders, Frederick Robbins and Thomas Weller at Harvard University, who would share the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work growing polio in culture. Also studying the virus were Dr. Albert Sabin at the University of Cincinnati and Dr. Jonas Salk at the University of Pittsburgh."
