Better Communication Could

Help Clear Up Confusion Over

Silly Research Grants



National Science Foundation grants to sup-
port social science research are often termed
silly because the reason for the research
is not made clear. The Foundation needs to
do  a better job of communicating to the
Congress and the public why these grants are
awarded.

The Foundation should require each Program
Award Recommendation for a social science
research grant to  explain, in clear, simple
language, why the project is important and
what long-term benefits may result. Sum-
maries of Completed Projects should explain
the broader social and human implications
of the research findings. The Foundation
also should clear up the confusion over the
proper documents to use in explaining why
the grants are awarded.                               111591
