laboratory concerning Western S&T and development issues. Grants might 

 assist in purchasing literature or special equipment to facilitate the 

 ireorientation, or provide travel to another Third World or US 

 institute conducting research and application in the same scientific 

 arena. In special instances, stipends and tuition might be provided 

 to offer a post-degree (MA, MS, or PhD) internship or training. 



b. For Institutions - Funding might be provided to bring 

 external assessment teams of US and other African scientists to review 

 the program and make recommendations for reorientation. A US 

 scientist experienced in some particularly relevant S&T for 

 development field might be brought for a short or long-term 

 consultancy. Travel might be provided to an institute or department 

 head/director to visit other model institutions, although travel 

 grants would not duplicate the Fulbright and State Department 

 international visitor programs. Administrators of S&T institutions 

 might be provided assistance in learning new administrative control of 

 research or the linkage of research to the extension (or outreach) 

 functions as is found in the US land-grant university. 



c. Special All-Africa S&T for Development Seminars - Especial 

 funding is needed for seminars in particular research fields utilizing 

 an ad hoc faculty of US and African scientists. These seminars would 

 be of crucial importance in setting the norms for applied research as 

 an acceptable and valued enterprise, for communicating advances in 

 theory and methods based on new findings of US and African scientists, 

 and for creating the needed context for African scholars to establish 

 linkages with their colleagues in the USA and Africa for longer term 

 cooperation on similar lines of research and application to develop- 

 ment problems.
