develop marine biology per se, but rather to af- 

 ford opportunities for biomedical scientists to 

 become aware of the unique features of marine 

 organisms and to provide them access to those 

 forms best suited to their research programs. 

 The facilities for such access are therefore an 

 important concern to NTH programs. 



Oceanographic research grants are supported 

 for the most part by the National Institutes of 

 General Medical Sciences, Neurological Diseases 

 and Blindness, and Allergy and Infectious 

 Diseases. However, others are supported by the 

 Institutes of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, 

 Cancer, Dental Research, Child Health and 

 Human Development, Heart, and Mental Health. 



Proposed FY 1967 Program 



The NIH effort involves work on marine algae 

 and higher plants, microbes, invertebrates, 

 chordates, and vertebrates (including birds and 

 mammals). Research will be in the following 

 subject areas: 



Cellular physiology 

 Developmental biology 

 Endocrine physiology 

 Cardiovascular physiology 

 Neurophysiology 

 Psychophysiology 



Vertebrate and invertebrate behavior 

 Genetics 



Population dynamics 



Evolutionary development of proteins {e.g. 

 hemoglobin, immune globulins) 



Federal Water Pollution Control Administration 



FY 1965 -$1,405 ,000 

 FY 1966-11,499,000 

 FY 1967-12,033,000 



Background 



Activities conducted by the Division of Water 

 Supply and Pollution Control, Public Health 

 Service, were transferred to the Federal Water 

 Pollution Control Administration, an agency 

 established within the Department of Health, 

 Education, and Welfare, under the Water Qiiality 



Act of 1965. The Administration will carry out 

 the oceanographic research activities related to 

 water pollution control previouslv conducted by 

 the Public Health Service. The Administration's 

 entire research program is conducted on the con- 

 tinental shelf. (For comparison piuposes the 

 oceanographic research funding of the Division 

 of Water Supply and Pollution Control in Fiscal 

 Years 1965 and 1966 listed above has been broken 

 out of the Public Health Ser\'ice budget.) 



Proposed FY 1967 Program 



Research, as with other program components, 

 is concerned with oceanographic activities as 

 they relate to the water pollution control mission 

 of the Administration. It consists of both intra- 

 mural (in-house plus contract) and extramural 

 (giant-supported) programs. Studies on the 

 sources and fate of pollution disposed into coastal 

 waters will be conducted at the marine sub-station 

 at Newport, Oregon, in conjunction with the 

 program of the Pacific Northwest Water Labora- 

 tory at Corvallis, Oregon. The National Marine 

 Water Qiiality Research Laboratory at Narragan- 

 sett, Rhode Island, when completed, will conduct 

 research on identification of wastes and water 

 quality requirements for fish and aquatic life and 

 recreational, industrial, and agricultural uses. 

 Extramural research will continue to be supported 

 by universities and other institutions receiving 

 Federal Water Pollution Control Administration 

 grants. 



U.S. Office of Education 



FY 1965-$ 77,000 

 FY 1966 -$165,000 

 FY 1967 -$264,000 



The Office of Education is manager of Title 4 

 of the National Defense Education Act. The 

 Office estimates that in FY 1967, new and continu- 

 ing fellowships granted under this Act for the 

 marine sciences will total about $264,000. This 

 money will help finance the graduate education 

 of worthy students as well as support, to a lesser 

 degree, departmental expenses (in the university) 

 incurred in providing instruction and facilities. 

 In FY 1965, two students were supported at Johns
