ARTICLES

Select this Article		How firm a foundation? Charles H. Schauer


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic Do physicists care for grants in chunks less than a million dollars at a time? This article grew out of correspondence with the author who wrote to the Institute some time ago expressing his puzzlement that the bulk of grants in aid to scientific research made by Research Corporation has shifted within the last four years from nearly equal numbers in physics and chemistry to a marked preponderance for chemistry. The author speculates on the reason for this and on some of the trends of our changing times in regard to foundation support of research.
