CONTRACTS - ADDITIONS Project #156, "Research on Human Perform­ & EXPANSIONS ance During Expo·sure to Combined Environ­ (OVERSIGHT) ments, 11 was expanded by $28, 500 to cover additional research on this contract with Wright-Patterson AFB - Aeronautical Systems Division. Dr. Malcolm L. Ritchie is project supervisor.

Project #105, "Research on Mechanisms of Thermal and Oxidative Degradation of High Temperature Aromatic Heterocyclic Polymers, 11 has been extended by an addition of $27, 715 to the initial contract. This con­ tract is with ASD-WPAFB under the supervision of Dr. Robert T. Conley.

UNIVERSITY LECTURING U. S. Government awards for University & ADVANCED RESEARCH Lecturing and Advanced Research in Latin America, Europe, The Near East, South & East Asia, the Pacific, and Africa for 1972-3 (Fulbright-Hays Act) have a June 1 deadline for application. Interested faculty may obtain further in­ formation and announcements from the Committee on International Exchange of Persons, Conference Board of Associated Research Council, 2101 Con­ stitution Avenue, N. W., Washington, D. C. 20418.

MACDOWELL COLONY For a token fee of $35 per week covering RESIDENCE room, board, and use of studios (fee may FELLOWSHIPS be waived in case of need) writers, paint­ ers, sculptors and composers may be in residence for 1 to 3 months for creative development. Thirty summer residents. There are some complete fellowships.

U. S. MAIL With many proposals being submitted so SLOW near the deadline for acceptance, we have found the mails do not provide satisfactory service. Arrangements have been made to use United Parcel Delivery in an attempt to insure prompt delivery. There is nothing better than having proposals ready for submission several days prior to deadline date.

EDP A The only Education Professions Development Act award in Ohio went to Ohio University. They have an Elementary Education Fellowship Program for Teachers & Ed­ ucation Specialists (Master's & Intermediate) for Disadvantaged Children program for six continuing fellowships. CONFERENCE "Application of Computers to Training, 11 will COMPUTER be the subject of a conference at the U. S. INSTRUCTION Naval Training Center, San Diego, California on April 14th. There will be a 11 hand-on11 demonstration of the electrical and electronics individualized learning sys­ tem and the NTC' s "Computer Assisted Instruction" program. Additional information from N. E. Rogers, National Security Industrial Association, Union Trust Building, 15th and H Streets, N. W., Washington, D. C. 20005.

FOREIGN CURRENCY The National Science Foundation has $1 mil­ RESEARCH FUNDS lion in foreign currency for support of re­ search and other scientific activities in "excess currency" countries. Burma, Guinea, India, Morocco, Pakistan, Poland, Tunisia, Egypt, and Yugoslavia are locations presently open to these programs.

Grants are available for research and science education programs. Proposals must be submitted by April 1 for July 1 funding. Send to Inter­ national Programs, N. S. F., Washington, D. C. 20550.

RANN The National Science Foundation has a pro­ gram called Research Applied to National Needs in which $81 million has been set aside for research efforts aimed at environmental, social, and technological problems. $55 million would be reserved for previous commitments to research efforts on national needs through the Interdisciplinary Research Relevant to Problems of Our Society program involving teams of scientists researching specific problems. The remaining $26 million would be to support new problems studies and re­ search projects.

DIRECTIONS Many of the legislative programs are directed toward conversion to peaceful economy. The transition from a 11 military-industrial11 to a "civilian economy" ("consumer commodity-industrial") complex will put an enormous strain on the technolog­ ically oriented for research program development. Ethnic, environmental, health, medicine, consumer, and foreign service bills are hitting the new congress.

The Nixon budget reflects a decision to end federal support for the expansion of higher education. It aims to concentrate on raising the qual­ ity of existing institutions.

The direction is at focusing applied research and development programs on solving the problems of society.

All this presupposes the Congress will agree, the money will b e available, and the oconomy starts to reverse its present directions.

EAST-WEST RESEARCH There is more discussion on the possibility CENTER of an East-West Research Cooperative, par­ ticularly as it involves incorporating Russia. The Center would deal with domestic problems - as urban planning, mass transportation, and waste disposal - and avoid those problems dealing with the strategic or political emphasis. McGeorge Bundy described it as an "international center for studies of the common problems of advanced so­ cieties. "

AMERICAN COUNCIL OF The ACLS has benefited by an $8. 2 million LEARNED SOCIETIES grant from the Ford Foundaticn. There has been additional funding by Carnegie Corpora­ tion to support Postdoctoral Research Fellowships. There are also Grants­ in-Aid for supplemental expenses to researchers. Travel Grants for Amer­ ican Scholars to International Conferences.

W. McNeil Lowry, foundation V. P., says, "Scholarly inquiry in the arts, literature, languages, music, history, and other fields must not languish nor be completely overshadowed by society's necessary preoccupa­ tion with urban problems, drug addiction, quality of the environment, the housing crisis, and other urgent concerns. 11

ACLS is a private nonprofit federation of 33 scholarly organizations.

3 FEDERAL BUDGET There have been numerous tabulations present­ 1971 - 1972 ing the federal budget for 1971-1972. In general it would appear that the 1972 budget allows greater sums for most areas of higher education except construction of facili­ ties. The shift has been to support of subsidy loan programs instead of grants for construction purposes.

As has been generally noted, there is an emphasis on the Health Ser­ vices, Manpower Education, and Community Services Programs. Whether the increases allotted will cover any more than the rising costs is a matter of conjecture. All in all, it appears that proposals will have to be unique if they are competitive in the grand rush to assimilate the added funding. In many cases present obligations approach the budgeted amounts.

ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN Deadline for application is June 30 for STATES FELLOWSHIPS these study and research fellowships in member states of OAS. The awards cover travel, tuition, fees, and maintenance. There is no dependent allow­ ance. Applications are made to Technical Cooperation Administration Fellow­ ship Branch, Pan American Union, Washington, D. C. 20006.

THE SOCIETY OF THE Small supportive grants are available to sup- SIGMA XI . port scientific investigations. These are re­ stricted to direct costs for equipment or sup­ plies. The next deadline for application will be May 1 for the June meeting of the Committee on Grants-in-Aid of Research, National Headquarters, 155 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, Connecticut 06510.

Dr. Hugh Dunnit Division of Investigation Wright State University Dcl.yton, Ohio 45431

Dear Dr. Dunnitt:

We regret to inform you that the National Science Foundation is unable to support your proposal for a Summer Institute in Fingerprints as Evidence in Criminal Investigation. The Foundation received many excellent pro­ posals with the result that a considerable number of those meriting support had to be eliminated because of lack of funds.

The Foundation must take a number of factors into consideration in evaluat­ ing each proposal: the merit of the proposal in relation to other proposals submitted in the same program, the geographical distribution of support by the Foundation, the achievement of an appropriate balance of support among different subject matter areas, and the availability of funds to support _e du­ cation in mathematics and the sciences.

Although the Foundation is unable to support this proposal, we thank you for submitting it, and we wish to assure you we shall be pleased to consider future proposals which you may wish to submit.

Sincerely,

Charles A. Whitmer Division Director Copy to: Specialized Education in Science Dr. R. E. Hay Director, Research Development .,....

HR1591 - School Boards - Amend Educational Professions Development Act to allow training of School Board Members.

GIFTS Gifts to education dropped from 632 million in DROP 1969 to $488 in 19 70. The drop is temporary according to the American Association of Fund-Raising Counsel, New York City. It has been due partly to delays in securities gifts pending a stronger stock market. Foundations increased their giving from $233 million to $29 3 million. Individual gifts dropped from $280 million to $66 million. This may represent direct effects of campus unrest. Corporations gave $23 million as against $46 million in 1969. Be­ quests were up from $ 72 to $105 million.

EDUCATION The General Electric Foundation has estab­ INCENTIVE lished a program for Educational Incentive AWARDS Awards to assist colleges and universities in developing new programs which will enable the institutions to relate more effectively to the needs of contemporary society. Today's society faces educational institutions with greatest opportunity and most difficult challenge. Interdisciplinary effort is stressed. The primary objective is to stimulate proposals for imaginative changes in curriculum de­ sign, teaching methodology, community involvement, administration, and methods of improving efficiency. Attention will be focused on (1) the unique­ ness of the proposal, (2) its potential for dealing more effectively with sig­ nificant problems facing contemporary society, and (3) its promise for improved efficiency in the educational process.

Awards of $25, 000 to $75, 000 will be made. Preliminary outlines are due March 31, 1971, with Formal Proposal due July 15, 1971. Other details on file in R. D. office.

TITLE IV - EQUAL The Division of Equal Educational Opportun­ EDUCATIONAL ities in the Bureau of Elementary and Second­ OPPORTUNITIES · ary Education provides technical assistance, opportunity for institutions to develop special training for educational personnel, and coordination with other federal pro­ grams to help schools successfully desegregate. The program provides for many t'JPCS of related activities: Institutes for training programs for school personnel, University involvement in desegregation efforts, Curricular and organizational changes which will help achieve desegregation, and many others.

The cost of living keeps escalating but i"t must be s t oppe d regardless of the price. 12 NATIONAL ENDOWMENT The deadline date of April 19, 1971 for proposals FOR THE HUMANITIES which relate to improved instruction and more effective use of resources is drawing near. There is an emphasis on relating the humanities to contemporary questions of values and to problems of national concern. Funds are available for support of experiments in education in the humanities, conferences or institutes to improve teaching, develop teaching materials, promote uses of library, or curricular revision. There are both planning and development grants in the program.
