DR. GLENN CRUMB assists in research and institute grants division. Grants Aid Individual Faculty Research DR. J. T. SANDEFUR supervises the expansion of faculty research projects. A significant part of the program of graduate studies is carried on in the Office of Research and Institute Grants, directed by Dr. J. T. Sandefur, assisted by Dr. Glenn Crumb. This office is a service organization to assist research and institute grant directors in the ad- ministration of their projects. The office also as- sists faculty members in expanding their individ- ual research activities. Nearly S2.5 million in funds are financing current research and institute grants helping further graduate studies. One of the main projects to arise from this of- fice is the Flint Hills Elementary Science Program Development Project, directed by Dr. Gerald Abegg. The Flint Hills Educational Research and Development Association, sponsors of the project, is composed of 13 Unified School Districts in Lyon County and adjoining counties. The association was formed, with guidance from the Graduate Di- vision, to collectively participate in programs too extensive for any individual district. 21 if
