FEDERAL FUNDING
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
RESEARCH
FY 1975
In response to the latest Government-wide survey by the Secretariat
of the Under Secretaries Committee, Subcommittee on Foreign Affairs
Research (USC/FAR), 20 departments and agencies of the Federal
Government, representing 48 different research programs, reported a
total of $27,818,776 in obligations for foreign affairs research in fiscal
year 1975. This represents a decrease of $1,252,596 from FY 1974.
A detailed breakdown of the information by individual agency appears
in the tables on pages 4 and 5.
Of the departments and agencies
included in this year's table, five
reported increases over fiscal year
1974 in their support for foreign
affairs research, i.e., the National
Scienee Foundation (NSF), $1,884,-
979; the Department of Defense
(DOD), $899,125; the Department
of Commerce, $18,057; the Depart-
ment of the Treasury, $192,197; and
the Federal Energy Administration;
$155,092. Funding of foreign affairs
research by the USC/FAR member
agencies' amounted to $16,623,381
in FY 1975, down $1,543,574 from
the total obligations reported by these
agencies in the previous fiscal year.
Agency for International Development,
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency,
Department of Defense, National Security
Council Staff, Department of State, and
U.S. Information Agency.
The agencies of the Federal Gov-
ernment supporting mostly basic re-
search--NSF, the National Endow-
ment for the Humanities (NEH),
and the Smithsonian Institution?
obligated a total of $6,423,849 for
foreign affairs research projects in
FY 1975, an increase of $1,178,045
over FY 1974. The remaining agen-
cies represented on the funding
table, i.e., all those not included
above as either USC/FAR member
agencies or basic research-sponsor-
ing agencies, reported total obliga-
tions for foreign affairs research in
FY 1975 of $4,771,546, a decrease
of $887,067 from FY 1974.
As it has been for the past several
years, in FY 1975 the Agency for
International Development (A.I.D.)
was the leading Federal agency in
providing support for foreign affairs
research. Figures reported by A.I.D.
show a decrease in its total foreign

bureau-funded research, and the
Central Research Program increased
over F Y 1974 levels; however, the
amount obligated for Institutional
(211d) Grants went to $700,000 in
FY 1975.
In second place as a source of
foreign affairs research funds for
the third fiscal year in a row was
NSF with a total reported obligation
of $5,421,537 in FY 1975. In third
place was DOD, reporting a total of
$3,270,036 in obligations, and in
fourth place was the Department of
Health. Education, and Welfare
(HEW), its total FY 1975 obliga-
tions of $2,282,184 representing a
decline of $977,124 from FY 1974.
In FY 1975, as in FY 1974, the
annual funding table was compiled
initially on the basis of information
on foreign affairs research contracts
and grants submitted by various
U.S. Government agencies cooperat-
ing in the current project reporting
system - of the USC/FAR. Under
this system, the project information
is entered into the Department of
State computer and later published
in an annual Inventory of Govern-
ment-Supported Research Projects
em Foreign Affairs. On the basis of
the stored project information, the
computer was also able to generate
a printout for each agency included
in the FY 1975 Inventory. The
printout listed by title for each
agency subunit those foreign affairs
researcn projects newly initiated, on-
going, or iecently completed that
were included in the current project
reporting system. Also shown on
each agency printout was the USC,'
FAR project number and the agen-
cy's assigned contract number for
each project, and the amount of
foreign affairs research funds, if any,
obligated for each project in FY
1975, the amount obligated by each
subunit, and the total amount obli-
gated by the agency.
liii current project reporting system
is limited to foreign affairs external re-
search projects that itivolve application
or advancement of the soPini sciences and
liii Tim miii mass these bear talbstantively on
foreign and international relations.
Excluded are those research projects that
bear solely on U.N. domestic affairs and
i hose in exclusively the physical
and biological sciences and their related
lechnologies.

Agencies cooperan rig in the cur-
rent project reporting system were
asked to review the printouts to in-
sure that all their foreign affairs re-
search projects were included and
to confirm that the figures accurate-
ly reflected the total amount of funds
obligated for foreign affairs in FY
1975 (through contracts and grants).
The USC/FAR definition of foreign
affairs research covers all projects
dealing with some aspect of foreign
areas or international affairs and in-
cludes both those conducted over-
seas and those carried out within
the United States.
Agencies were also encouraged to
provide a brief current description
of their research program(s) for
publication along with the FY 1975
funding table. These are presented
below. Not all departments and
agencies included in the funding
table are represented since many do
not maintain continuing programs of
foreign affairs research.
Agency for International Develop-
ment: A.I.D. carries out programs
of research on and evaluation of the
process of economic development in
less developed countries; the factors
affecting the relative success and
costs of development activities; and
the means, techniques, and other
aspects of development assistance.
Department of Agriculture: The
International Programs Division of
the Agricultural Research Service
administers foreign research activi-
ties under the Special Foreign Cur-
rency Research Program and related
legislation.
Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency: The ACDA external re-
search program concentrates on spe-
cialized studies in support of priority
arms control issues. The selection of
projects is based on consideration of
the importance and respective priori-
ties of the various arms control issues
to be faced by the Agency and the
extent to which external research can
assist in their resolution.
Department of Defense: The DOD
contract and grant programs for for-
eign area research are designed to
assist in the solution of problems
related to the DOD overseas mis-
sions by developing knowledge
about cultures, leadership and mili-
tary capabilities, and intentions of
other nations; to provide analysis
and recommendations concerning
policy studies; to develop an under-
standing of significant security possi-
bilities and problems which may
develop over the next decade and

the implications for planning tech-
nology development; and to develop
a foundation of information on mat-
ters revelant to the DOD mission.
National Security Council: The
external research projects supported
by the NSC Staff emphasize prob-
lem and opportunity analysis and
policy guidance. The geographic and
subject focus of this research is not
constant, as a deliberate effort to
retain flexibility to respond to the
evolution of policy issues is main-
tained.
Department of Health, Education,
and Welfare: Foreign affairs re-
search sponsored by HEW adds an
international dimension to activities
serving HEW program goals in
health, alcohol and drug abuse, edu-
cation, rehabilitation, social security,
and social welfare.
Federal Energy Administration:
Research in the field of international
relations is conducted primarily by
the Office of International. Energy
Affairs. In addition to regular in-
house ongoing studies by the per-
manent professional staff covering
energy in all its ramifications world-
wide, FEA/IEA sponsored seven
contract studies for FY 1975. Of
these, two studies were published as
parts of the International Assess-
ment of Project Independence, and a
third was published privately under
the title, An Evaluation of the Op-
tions of the U.S. Government in Its
Relationship to U.S. Firms in Inter-
national Petroleum Affairs. Other
contract studies concerned the cost
of alternative financial and institu-
tional mechanisms in the United
States, the impact of the oil em-
bargo on Europe and Japan, the
U.S. petroleum import interruption
probability, and a systematic anal-
ysis of Saudi Arabia's plans for in-
ternational development. lk
General Services Administration:
The Federal Preparedness Agency
of GSA along with various other as-
signed responsibilities carries out
research designed to explore the im-
plications for civil preparedness
programs of developments in weap-
ons technology and changes in stra-
tegic targeting doctrine by adversary
powers.
Department of Labor: The re-
search program of the Bureau of
International Labor Affairs focuses
on the effects of international trade,
investment, and other international
developments on the economic
status of U.S. workers.
National Endowment for the
Humanities: The Division of Re-
search Grants supports original
basic research and editing projects
in the humanities and in those areas
of the social sciences that have hu-

inanistic content and employ human-
istic methods. In particular. the
Division's programs are aimed at
building up the materials and re-
sources necessary for conducting
humanistic research in the United
States. Awards are made through
the Division of Fellowships to free
an individual so that full-time study
or research can be pursued for 1
*car or less. The Office of Planning
and Analysis designs and supports
projects that lie outside the activities
oi the other program divisions. The
Youth Grants Program, which sup-
ports humanities projects by persons
under 30 years of age, is located
within this office.
National Science Foundation:
NSF initiates and supports funda-
mental and applied research in all
the scientific disciplines, including
the social and behavioral sciences.
Ellis support is made through grants,
,:ontracts, and cooperative agree-
nients awarded to universities and
.ionprofit and other research orga-
nizations. Most of this research is
directed to unresolved scientific
questions concerning fundamental
life Processes, natural laws and phe-
nomena. fundamental processes in-
fluencing man's environment and the
forces impacting on man as a mem-
ber of society as well as on the
behavior of his society. Additional
research focuses on selected societal
problems of national importance and
contributes to the knowledge re-
quired for their practical solution.
Smithsonian Institution: Grants
are awarded to U.S. universities and
museums for basic research in the
anthropologictl sciences, principally
archeology; biological sciences;
astrophysical and earth sciences; and
museum programs in six excess for-
eign currency countries. In FY
1975, 43 foreign affairs research
projects were supported.
Department of State: The Exter-
nal Research Program, managed by
the Office of External Research,
Bureau of Intelligence and Research,
provides a series of intellectual links
between the Department of State's
operating, planning, and analytical
offices, on the one hand, and aca-
demic institutions, individual schol-
ars, and other private specialists, on
the other. The content of the pro-
gram varies from year to year to
reflect the changing needs of the

OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH:
MALAYSIA
The Government of Malaysia has
established procedures for authoriz-
ing, supervising, and evaluating re-
search carried out in Peninsular
Malaysia by foreign scholars. Simi-
lar procedures have also been estab-
lished by the state governments of
Sabah and Sarawak on the island of
Borneo. Among the factors consid-
ered by the Malaysian Government
in evaluating research applications
are the sensitivity of the research
topic, the seriousness of the topic in
Malaysian eyes, the academic and
public reputation of researchers and
their sponsors, and the relationship
of resc:archers and/or their sponsors
to the Government or its academic
institutions.
Sensitive issues include:
--special position of the Malays
(as regarding land ownership and
Government economic programs),
--sovereignty of the rulers (in
their respective states),
?national language (Malay) and
use of other languages (Chinese,
legitimate interests of non-
M alays,
--qualifications for citizenship,
and
- communal issues, including the
Islamic religion.
How to Apply
Responsibility for approval of re-
search by foreign scholars in Penin-
sular Malaysia in all fields lies with
the Board of National Unity. In the
process of clearing fieldwork, the
board, which is attached to the
Prime Minister's Department, may
consult with pertinent unj..ersities or
research institutes within Malaysia.
Procedures for handling applica-
tions are as follows:
Applications must be submitted
through the nearest Malaysian Em-
bassy, High Commission, or Con-
Winter 1976
sulate on forms which they will sup-
ply. Application for a visa for the
period of research should be made
at the same time.
The four-page form is submitted
in quadruplicate with four passport-
size photographs. In addition to the
usual personal particulars, it includes
questions about the researcher's
affiliations with any government, re-
quests a supporting letter from the
head of the sponsoring department
or institution, and asks for a brief
statement of the topic, scope, dura-
tion, and techniques to be used.
The Malaysian Foreign Service
post retains one copy of the applica-
tion and forwards three to the Im-
migration Department in Kuala
Lumpur. That department distributes
one copy to the Board of National
Unity and one copy to the Home
Affairs Ministry.
If this procedure is not followed,
i.e., if researchers submit applica-
tions directly to the Board of Na-
tional Unity, board officials warn
that delays will occur in processing.
If applications are correctly sub-
mitted, the minimum time for ap-
proval or denial is 8 weeks. After
the application is submitted, ques-
tions or supplementary data may be
sent directly to the board as follows:
Director of Research
Board of National Unity
Prime Minister's Department
Jalan Dato Onn
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
When foreign scholars enter Pe-
ninsular Malaysia to begin approved
research, they must visit the Board
of National Unity to obtain a spe-
cial identity card. (Extra copies of
passport photos should be brought
for this purpose.) At this time they
must give the address of a local resi-
dent who will know their where-
abouts, and they are put under the
nominal supervision of a relevant
Government office or department of
a national university. From time to
time, scholars may be asked to re-
port on the progress of the research.
When the research is completed, the
Board of National Unity may ask
to review questionnaires, notes,
tapes, photographs, or other mater-
ial derived from the research before
permission to leave is granted.
Scholars must submit a summary
of their research findings before
leaving Malaysia and furnish the
Board of National Unity with a copy
of the study when completed.
Sabah and Sarawak
The Malaysian Federal Govern-
ment does not control admission of
foreign researchers into Sabah and
Sarawak, nor does it have control
over the state immigration offices.
Scholars planning to do research in
those states should write directly to
the state governments at the follow-
ing addresses:
The Honorable
Permanent Secretary to the
Chief Minister
Chief Minister's Department
Kota Kinabalu
Sabah, Malaysia
The Honorable
State Secretary for Sarawak
Kuching
Sarawak, Malaysia
Letters of application to the
above should contain the same type
of information requested in the ap-
plication form for Peninsular Malay-
sia. Processing time reportedly is
somewhat less?about 2 weeks. Re-
searchers planning to work both in
Peninsular Malaysia and in Sabah
or Sarawak may make application to
the two state governments after ar-
rival on the peninsula, but it is rec-
ommended that applications be sub-
mitted simultaneously to the Federal
and State Governments.

COMPUTERIZED DATA
ON CHINA
The U.S. Government has taken
steps to enhance the availability to
private scholars of its unclassified
data on the People's Republic of
China. In 1972 the USC/FAR (Na-
tional Security Council Under Sec-
retaries Committee, Subcommittee
on Foreign Affairs Research) agreed
on the desirability of increasing the
exchange of well-ordered data be-
tween the Government and the aca-
demic community. Professor Davis
B. Bobrow of the University of
Maryland, in a study commissioned
by the Department of State,' con-
cluded that a full-fledged data bank
would not be feasible as the instru-
ment for such an exchange. He did,
however, make recommendations for
improving scholarly awareness of,
and access to, unclassified Govern-
ment data on China.
Acting on these recommendations,
the Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA), has agreed to make certain
unclassified computer tapes on China
available for public sale. These were
prepared for the use of U.S. Govern-
ment officials; and their format, cov-
erage, and contents are designed to
meet the specific requirements of the
users.
The following tapes can now be
ordered from the National Techni-
cal Information Service, 5285 Port

of women in development.
To finance the center and pro-
mote its activities, an African Wom-
en's Development Fund is being
established by the ECA in collabora-
tion with the All Africa Women's
Conference and the United Nations
and its specialized agencies. This
fund will be raised from among
women's organizations in Africa and
the industrialized world, governmen-
tal and nongovernmental organiza-
tions, foundations, and individuals.
African Center
for Women
Termed as a "path to progress for
African women," the African Train-
ing and Research Centre for Women
was formally inaugurated in spring
1975. It grew out of the work of
the Women's Programme, U.N. Eco-
nomic Commission for Africa
(ECA), and is located in Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia.
The center will assist governments
and voluntary agencies, including
women's organizations, in strengthen-
ing the roles of women in the
African region by integrating them
more effectively into the development
effort of their respective countries. It
is intended to be a permanent fea-
ture of the African development
scene.
The work of the center includes:
? Formal and apprentice in-
service training;
? Organization of a volunteer
corps consisting mainly of skilled
African women who will serve in
countries other than their own;
? Applied research in areas of
greatest need, e.g., relationships be-
tween education, employment, and
family size; marketing and business;
and national policies and legislation;
and
? Production of information and
resource materials for promoting the
advancement of women in all sectors
of society.
Thus far programs of the center
have included workshops in I 5
countries on the training of rural
trainers and development planners
on income producing activities and
special programs related to food
storage and preservation, communi-
cations and program planning, and
other subjects to improve the quality
of life in rural areas. Seminars have
been conducted in approximately 15
or 20 countries that have stressed
the functions and services of these
types of machinery and their role
Fulbright-Hays
Awards, 1977-78
More than 500 awards for univer-
sity lecturing and postdoctoral re-
search in more than 75 countries
will be made to U.S. citizens for
academic year 1977-78, the 30th
year of the senior Fulbright-Hays
program. Americans with doctorates
or college teaching experience may
request announcements of openings
in their fields of specialization; re-
quests should indicate preferred
countries or areas and probable
dates of availability. Those wishing
to receive future announcements
should ask to be placed on the
Council for International Exchange
of Scholars (CIES) Register of
Scholars. The computerized register,
which is updated regularly, currently
totals some 15,000.
CIES reviews more than 2,500
applications annually for openings in
programs planned abroad by bina-
tional educational foundations and
commissions in some 45 countries
and by U.S. embassies in about 45
others. Some 1,000 nominations are
made each year for the more than
500 awards; about 75 percent are for
lecturing and 25 percent for re-
search. All Fulbright-Hays grantees
are selected by the Board of Foreign
Scholarships, whose members arc
appointed by the President to over-
see the program and to provide poli-
cy guidance.
Applications for 1975-76 are un-
der review at present, but some
awards are still open to application.
For inquiries about remaining open-
ings and for future announcements,
