Linking Knowledge with Action for Sustainable Development: The Role of Program Management - Summary of a Workshop http://www.nap.edu/catalog/11652.html The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm. A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Wm. A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council. www.national-academies.org Copyright © National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

It is intended to provide State research directors with an exchange of State department practices in organization, staffing, funding, and contracting for research related activities; an identification of projects completed and under way; and an identification of personnel employed in State departments. survey data were gathered through (1) site visits to 12 geographically representative States known to be active in research and development; (2) mailed questionnaires that probed into the organization, financing, staffing, and content of State actimities -- not only in the research unit but also throughout the department; and (3) meetings at the nine regional USOE offices where RDDDE personnel from 31 States discussed the situations in their own departments. The procedures used to collect and analyze the data are described in one chapter; another chapter presents the results of the work; and the presentation concludes with a reflection on the meanings of the findings, an interpretation, and general recommendations.

Tt includes a summary of intervention projects and survey of present knowledge and theory about language which constitute the rationale for such protects. Specific recommendations are made for the application of the findings in broader educational contexts. Although many educators aarPe that language is one specific area in which disadvantaged children need to catch up, they often disagree on the nature, importance, and antecedents of these deficiencies in language. The paper includes discussion of alternative views of language, method:: of language assessment (language production, comprehension assessment, and standardized testing), a selective review of subcultural language differences, and a review of language intervention research (Project Read Start, Rereiter-Engelmann Program, etc.). In addition, the authors recommend specific educational practices.

This tipping period very much encompasses our sanctuary advisory councils as well. The NMSP has reached a tremendous milestone with our sanctuary advisory councils. In 2005 councils were established for the Monitor, Flower Garden Banks, and Fagatele Bay national marine sanctuaries. Every site in the system, including the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument, now has an advisory council. There are almost 400 people (230 members and 160 alternates) serving on advisory councils.
