description: Problem: Professional learning communities (PLCs) are not a new trend in education but are getting more attention in schools today as a vehicle for establishing collegial relationships among teachers and for building capacity for change within schools (Dufour & Eaker, 1998; Fullan, 2004; Hord, 2004; Senge, 2000).  Schools are working diligently to become PLCs in hopes of improving student learning yet there are pitfalls schools must be cognizant of. The core principles of PLCs do not simply exist because leaders are calling them PLCs.  Dufour cautioned “the term has been used so ubiquitously that it is in danger of losing all meaning” (Dufour, 2004, p. 6) while others warned of contrived collegiality as opposed to genuine collaborative teacher cultures (Hargreaves & Dawe, 1990). This study explores the development of PLCs at one middle school to provide feedback to improve practice while also building the research base on what contextual factors contributed to PLCs and how PLCs impact key components including pedagogy and assessment.   Research Questions: The questions explored in this case study of one grade level in a middle school are:  1. In what ways does teaching practice change as a result of participation in a professional learning community?  2. What aspects about the PLCs contributed to the change?  3. What contextual factors contributed to the PLCs capacity to support teacher change?  Methodology: A qualitative case study was used focusing on information gained from interviews, observations, surveys, and documentation for this study.  The administrative team and core eighth grade teachers were interviewed and 4 observations of PLC meetings were completed. Data analysis included organizing and analyzing data using Dedoose, a qualitative research software program.   Significance: Research on PLCs has typically focused on understanding what true PLCs are and how they can improve schools.  This study focuses on identifying what types of changes took place in terms of pedagogy and assessment as a result of participating in PLCs.  In addition, by focusing on a school that began the implementation process five years ago, the study aims to identify aspects about PLCs that contributed to instructional change.  The study also identifies contextual factors that were critical for PLCs to support teacher change in order to help other school leaders that may be initiating PLCs in their own schools.

description: Most women diagnosed with breast cancer can expect to enjoy a long life, but only 23% of women diagnosed with Stage IV disease (cancer spread to the bone, brain, soft tissues) are expected to live for at least 5 years. Women with advanced disease face not only the likelihood of an uncertain future, but also the prospect of undergoing nearly continuous medical treatments and cancer-related problems in emotional and physical domains. The body of research on quality of life and health in women with advanced disease is very small. In particular, no good measures are available to detail the specific concerns of women with advanced breast cancer, and no models have been tested to identify psychosocial factors that help and hinder women as they live with advanced disease across time. The proposed research in women with Stage IV breast cancer is designed to address these limitations.

 What are the central concerns of women living with Stage IV breast cancer? We will develop a measure of these concerns. What factors aid and hinder women as they live with advanced disease? We hypothesize that psychological factors reflecting active engagement in pursuing cherished life goals will contribute to positive outcomes over a three-month period. These factors include hope (goal-directed determination and perceived pathways toward goals), approach-oriented coping (e.g., seeking social support, problem solving, finding benefit), and involvement in goal-related activities. Outcomes include mood, quality of life, and a biological marker, cortisol, which is important in regulating stress responses and may be significant to the health of women with advanced disease.

 We will recruit 140 women with Stage IV breast cancer to participate in a study of living with advanced disease. We will conduct two assessment points over a three-month period, using established questionnaires, an interview with each woman, and cortisol assessment through saliva collection.

 Women with advanced breast cancer have been relatively neglected in research to understand central concerns surrounding the experience of cancer and the factors that aid and hinder women as they live with the disease. Although a few sound evaluations of psychological interventions for women with metastatic breast cancer exist, ours will be among the first longitudinal research (i.e., conducted over time) to investigate central concerns of and contributors to quality of life in women with advanced disease. This research will pave the way for a deeper understanding of the lives of women with advanced disease, as well as development of interventions to bolster well-being and health in women with Stage IV breast cancer.

description: California has a rapidly increasing population of older Americans with arthritis, as well as younger patients with rheumatoid arthritis and cartilage injury, who require joint surgery or replacements for the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, wrist, elbow. California also has military bases with many soldiers returning from the war who require artificial limbs to regain function and return to a productive life. At the present time, the available orthopaedic biotechnology needed for optimal osseointegration and prevention of implant loosening is not satisfactory. Another major area in need of innovations in the orthopaedics field is the cartilage regeneration. cartilage does not heal itself because the cartilage cells are cut off from a nutrient blood supply. Current treatments for cartilage repair are less than satisfactory, and rarely restore the necessary function nor return the tissue to its native normal state. Our primary objective is to develop a new generation of orthopaedic implant materials that significantly improve osseointegration and enhance cartilage regeneration. Using nano-biotechnology, new implant materials will be engineered for enhanced repair of bone and generation of new prostheses that integrate directly into bone. A novel approach that we propose is the use of new nanotechnology materials, specifically, nanotubes, which elicit new types of interactions between the biomaterials and cells because of their three-dimensional topographic cues. Our first aim involves the optimization and understanding of the structure of nanotech biomaterials for enhanced bone integration to the implants. The second aim deals with creating drug-eluting bone implants by utilizing the existing nanotubes pore space to conveniently store and on-demand release growth factors, antibiotics and other useful biological agents. The third aim is to study and develop advanced cartilage regeneration technology by utilizing the nanotube biomaterials, which have already shown promising preliminary results. These aims focus on multi-disciplinary training of students and postdoctoral researchers from materials science, bioengineering, and life sciences combined approaches, with a goal of accomplishing significant medical biotech advances toward practical applications. If successful, the proposed research will benefit millions of California residents and soldiers through the use of new bone and cartilage interfaces, and is likely to lead to the creation of a quite large medical tech industry with an accompanying increase in business and job opportunities as the orthopaedics market (~$8B/yr) and dental market (~$4B/yr) are huge, and the cartilage market can also be very large.

description: Cancer cells are able to proliferate uncontrollably because of genetic alterations or abnormal regulation of genes that promote or inhibit cell proliferation. LM04 is potentially responsible for activating proliferation-promoting genes in breast cancer. It is a member of the family of LIM only proteins (LMOs); two other members of the LMO family, LMO1 and LM02, are oncogenes in leukemia. Normally, LM04 is expressed in breast epithelial cells and its expression is dramatically increased during mid-pregnancy. This genetic expression pattern is consistent with a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and therefore it is not surprising that interference with LM04 in mouse mammary glands leads to inhibition of mammary gland development. There is also strong evidence that LM04 may play a role in promoting breast cancer. LM04 was first found in breast cancer tissues and was referred to as Human Breast Tumor Autoantigen. Later studies found that LM04 is overexpressed in about 50% of invasive breast cancers. In recent experiments, it was found that LM04 expression level is greatly increased in ErbB2-induced breast cancer in mice. Moreover, when the LM04 activity was inhibited, cell proliferation was inhibited and programmed cell death was induced in breast cancer cells.

 We are using state-of the art methods in mouse genetics to understand breast cancer. Our preliminary results showed that LM04 regulates several key genes implicated in tumorigenesis. . Specifically we propose that LM04 plays its role in breast cancer by functioning in the well known breast cancer oncogene ErbB2 pathway. To study the role of LM04 in mammary gland development and breast cancer, we will generate mice in which the LM04 gene is specifically deleted in the mammary gland. To link the role of LM04 in ErbB2/Her2/Neu-induced breast cancer, we plan to use transgenic mice overexpressing ErbB2 with deleted LM04 gene in the mammary glands. In order to further study the mechanisms of action for LM04, we plan to lower LM04 levels in breast cancer cell lines by RNA-mediated interference (RNAi). We will study the effect of LM04 on the cell cycle and programmed cell death, and determine how LM04 regulates cancer-causing genes to affect these processes.

 The long-term goal of our laboratory is to understand transcriptional control mechanisms that underlie normal development of epidermis, hair follicles and mammary glands, and to use this knowledge to gain insights into carcinogenesis in epithelial tissues. The project will investigate new biological mechanism of breast cancer, in which a small nuclear protein, LM04, might potentially take part in the well known breast cancer ErbB2 pathway.

description: Introduction: Studies have shown that breast cancer growth often depends on the presence of estrogens, the female sex hormones, which attach to their breast canceer cell receptors to induce these abnormal cells to divide without control. Tamoxifen is a drug that is extremely effective in blocking the action of estrogens, but, in many patients, it stops working effectively after about five years.

 Aromatase is the enzyme that produces estrogen. From several clinical trials, aromatase inhibitors, including anastrozole (Arimidex), letrozole (Femara), and exemestane (Aromasin), were found to be effectively challenging tamoxifen as an estrogen blocker. They are a new line of estrogen inhibiting drugs, acting through the aromatase pathway, to treat estrogen-sensitive breast cancers by preventing estrogen production in the first place.

 Hypotheses:

 1. How do these inhibitors interact with aromatase?

 2. What are the structural features needed to design new aromatase inhibitors with greater potency and selectivity?

 Methodology: One biophysical technique, i.e., protein X-ray crystallography, will be used to understand the structural basis of the drug recognition of aromatase. Meanwhile, the active site peptides of aromatase that interact with an anticancer drug, exemestane, will be identified by proteomic and mass spectral analysis.

 Innovative elements: During the last several years, aromatase inhibitors have been shown to be novel and better types of drugs than tamoxifen in treating hormone-responsive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The availability of a three-dimensional structure of aromatase would be valuable in understanding how these inhibitors interact with the enzyme and in providing critical information for the design of inhibitors with greater potency and selectivity.

 Advocacy involvement: This project will provide important information for the understanding of the molecular action of drug recognition by aromatase and for the development of its fourth-generation inhibitors with potentially greater clinical efficacy for the prevention and the treatment of hormone-responsive breast cancer.

description: Significant development of the breast takes place before birth in humans and mice. Early breast development is dependent on secreted molecules that control the migration of epithelial cells. Mis-regulation of this normal process occurs during cancer metastasis. The genes involved in normal breast cell migration are largely unknown, but we have found that a gene encoding a secreted molecule called Fibroblast Growth factor 10 (FGF10) controls the early steps of breast development in a mouse model deficient for the gene. The mechanism of FGF10 action in this process is unknown. In this proposal, we are going to determine the role of FGF10 and its potential interaction with another important family of growth factors, called WNTs (known to be involved in normal breast development as well as in the process of tumor progression) in the process of epithelial cell migration. This proposal should allow a better understanding of the important process of epithelial cell migration.

 Our hypothesis is that FGF10 in association with members of the WNT family controls the migration of breast cells during embryonic development. Our long term goal is to apply the knowledge that we will have gained in studying normal breast development to understand the process of migration during metastasis of primary breast tumors.

 We are going to use both in vivo and in vitro techniques to test the central hypothesis. State of the art imaging techniques will be used to follow the migration of the breast cells as the breast develops. We will analyze the timing of when key genes potentially controlled by FGF10 during the process of the breast development are activated.

 Our very innovative proposal will allow us to identify the function of key genes in controlling migration during normal development of the breast. Understanding how cell migration is controlled during normal breast development is critical to design strategies to fight against cancer metastasis, which is characterized by active migration of a subpopulation of very aggressive cells and represents the major complication of the evolution of a tumor.
Employing inquiry-based computer simulations and embedded scientist videos to teach challenging climate change and nature of science concepts

description: Design based research was utilized to investigate how students use a greenhouse effect simulation in order to derive best learning practices.  During this process, students recognized the authentic scientific process involving computer simulations.  The simulation used is embedded within an inquiry-based technology-mediated science curriculum known as Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (WISE).  For this research, students from a suburban, diverse, middle school setting use the simulations as part of a two week-long class unit on climate change.  A pilot study was conducted during phase one of the research that informed phase two, which encompasses the dissertation.  During the pilot study, as students worked through the simulation, evidence of shifts in student motivation, understanding of science content, and ideas about the nature of science  became present using a combination of student interviews, focus groups, and students’ conversations.  Outcomes of the pilot study included improvements to the pedagogical approach.  Allowing students to do “Extreme Testing” (e.g., making the world as hot or cold as possible) and increasing the time for free exploration of the simulation are improvements made as a result of the findings of the pilot study.  In the dissertation (phase two of the research design) these findings were implemented in a new curriculum scaled for 85 new students from the same school during the next school year.  The modifications included new components implementing simulations as an assessment tool for all students and embedded modeling tools.  All students were asked to build pre and post models, however due to technological constraints these were not an effective tool.  A non-video group of 44 students was established and another group of 41 video students had a WISE curriculum which included twelve minutes of scientists’ conversational videos referencing explicit aspects on the nature of science, specifically the use of models and simulations in science.  The students in the video group had marked improvement compared to the non-video group on questions regarding modeling as a tool for representing objects and processes of science modeling aspects as evident by multiple data sources.  The findings from the dissertation have potential impacts on improving Nature of Science (NOS) concepts around modeling by efficiently embedding short authentic scientific videos that can be easily used by many educators.  Compared to published assessments by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), due to the curriculum interventions both groups scored higher than the average United States middle school student on many NOS and climate content constructs.

description: The antiestrogen drug, tamoxifen, is currently the most widely used drug in the treatment of breast cancer. However, only two-thirds of all estrogen receptor positive (ER+) tumors respond to the drug and of these, half develop resistance to the drug. To maximize the benefit of tamoxifen, it is important to uncover why certain tumors fail to respond. Since tamoxifen inhibits cell growth, we have been interested in discovering how resistant cells and breast tumors can overcome the drug's effect. Our preliminary data indicated that overexpression of cyclin E, a protein important for cell cycle progression, can override growth arrest induced by tamoxifen or depletion of estrogen in the MCF7 breast cancer cells, an ER+ cell line. Since tumor progression involves both an increase in cell proliferation and a decrease in apoptosis, we propose that cyclin E affects growth patterns by altering expression patterns of proteins involved in the apoptotic pathway, such as Bcl-2 and Bax.

 Our aims are to: (1) determine the effect of cyclin E on the protein levels of the G1/S phase cyclins and the cdk inhibitors, (2) determine the effect of cyclin E on the Rb family of proteins and on E2F complex formations. Transcription of E2F is necessary for entry of the cells into S phase and (3) investigate the role of cyclin E in apoptosis and its effect on components of the apoptotic pathway. To accomplish these aims we will use the T47D breast cancer cell line, which has been genetically altered to express excess cycin E. These cells will be tested for their response to tamoxifen and analyzed for the expression of key cell growth proteins. This research will allow me to gain critical experience in modern approaches to study breast cancer, such as laser scanning cytometry, Western and northern immunoblot analyses, gel shift assays, and TUNEL assays to detect apoptosis.

 If cyclin E emerges as an important "player" in tamoxifen resistance and other therapeutic resistance in breast cancer, then it will become a new target for disease treatment and clinical evaluation.

Factors affecting the distribution and access to athletic opportunities for New Jersey high school students

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The requirement for continuous improvements and the lack of funds for schools to properly implement all the mandates puts schools in the inevitable position of having to make tough decisions with regards to programs. The central theme of NCLB requires states to adopt a plan for accountability that will lead to increased achievement for all students.  Due to the need to fund and support cognitive activities, monies are often stripped from non-cognitive programs. While schools have never had an abundance of funds, co-curricular activities and interscholastic athletics have often been singled out as programs that could be cut for the sake of saving money while placing greater concentration on academic performance (Pressley & Whitley, 1996).     Further exacerbating the problem in the state of New Jersey is that educational resources are differentially distributed in schools (McNeal, 2010).  Even though the total cost per pupil for lower socioeconomic schools is not significantly different from that of higher socioeconomic schools, more affluent districts have a higher per student cost for athletics (Bao, Romeo, & Harvey, 2010).  Involvement in high school athletics occurs at lower rates among members of those groups that are typically less economically advantaged. Differential access and opportunities to athletics has the potential to exclude certain students from alternative pathways to increased achievement (McNeal, 2010).       To create the most productive environment for students, educational leaders must consider not only what happens in the classroom.  While usually constituting less than three percent of the overall budget, extracurricular activities have been associated with several positive outcomes. Being able to determine what factors effect the distribution and access to athletic opportunities will assist educational administrators to make more informed decisions regarding spending in their districts.
It’s not child’s play

description: Current trends towards increased accountability in public education have taken a toll on the opportunity for unstructured play time and recess breaks that are offered to elementary students during the school day (Barros, Silver, & Stein, 2009; Daly, 2006; Henley, McBride, Milligan, & Nichols, 200&).  The demands on teachers and administrators to provide measureable progress towards curriculum standards has put pressure to increase time on task and to augment instructional time within an already overloaded school day. The current trend in education to increase reliance on standardized testing, coupled with federal mandates such as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), have created an atmosphere where testing results are paramount to determinations of success (Bracey, 1991; Dylan, 2010).  During the school day, recess provides the opportunity for unstructured play and provides for a break from high demand, regimented classroom tasks (Dills, Morgan, & Rotthoff, 2011; Pellegrini & Bohn, 2005; Pellegrini & Davis, 1993).  Unstructured play allows a child to recognize important relationships regarding cause and effect and manipulation of their environment; it serves to strengthens gross and fine motor skills (Ramstetter, Murray, & Garner, 2010; Zygmunt-Fillwalk, Bidello, & Evanko 2005; McKenzie & Kahan, 2008) and gives children the opportunity to develop social skills and interpersonal relationships (Sumpner & Blatchford, 1998). There is an opportunity for educational research that provides insight into the benefits of recess and how socioeconomic factors affect access to recess opportunities in school. Access to recess was examined using a Multiple Linear Regression Analysis in the context of socioeconomic and locale variables. Findings indicated that access to recess opportunities and the benefits associated with recess correlate to specific local and socioeconomic variables.
“I never hear it talked about”: exploring discourses of whiteness in a predominantly white elementary school

description: Much is known about the practices, beliefs, assumptions, and discourses of teachers as they look at issues of racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity but little has been done to understand how racial injustice is sustained in these school settings and how whiteness operates in predominantly white educational contexts.  White elementary school teachers committed to providing quality education in predominantly white settings offer researchers an opportunity to examine how whiteness operates and how it is sustained or disrupted though the work of these white teachers.  The research questions that guided this study were:    1. How do overarching discourses of whiteness operate in this predominantly white elementary school?    2. How do these white teachers resist/disrupt/challenge or perpetuate/contribute to/sustain the discourses of whiteness through their images, practices, and talk?             Data for this qualitative study was collected using ethnographic data collection techniques such as critical interviews, participant observation, artifact and document analysis, and field notes in order to focus on whiteness and examine how it is reified or challenged through the discourses of two white male first grade teachers.  Whiteness studies and critical theory were used as a theoretical lens to guide interpretative qualitative analysis in order to fully investigate the data within its multiple and varied contexts.            In this predominantly white environment it was found that whiteness operated in two fundamental ways.  First, it functioned through a discourse of silence that was supported by a pervasive ideology of colorblindness.  Second, it functioned through a discourse of hypervisibility/invisibility that utilized a conflation of culture and race to render culture hypervisible, while at the same time making race invisible.  What these findings indicate is a need for continued research with white educators a) to investigate how the discourses of whiteness impact their implementation of multicultural education in the classroom and b) to challenge them to critically analyze the unexamined power of whiteness at work in these elementary school settings.

This document aims to record the production process and to demonstrate the learning of the candidate and, through that reflection, to explore what was successful and what was not. I have had a hard time being fully fair to both successes and failures.  Before writing this document, I was painfully aware of the failures of the production.  As I approach completion of this paper the successes are more acute.  Finally writing this thesis has shown me more successes than I was aware of, eight years ago, when I started writing this.

description: This dissertation chronicles the history of the Rutgers University Bands. As the program nears its centennial, several important historical issues are examined. These topics include:   The formation and development of the Rutgers University Marching and Pep Bands from inception to the present. These two units comprise the athletic band component which was the impetus for the development of the entire program.   The formation and development of the various concert band groups including Wind Ensemble, Symphony Band, and Concert Band.   The role of the band in the training of certified music educators and performers.    Interview transcripts of Martin Sherman, George Jones, Floyd Sumner, Scott Whitener, William Berz, Joseph Brashier, Timothy Gunter and others are crucial primary sources. In addition, several alumni from the program’s various eras described their experiences in the Rutgers Band. Articles, photographs, programs, official university correspondence, and artifacts from the band’s history have been collected and used to help describe the development of the band.

Eight young individuals, the longest measuring two inches, were dredged at Station 313, off Charleston, S. C., in 75 fathoms; also, three specimens, badly mutilated, from Station 336, lat. 38° 21' N, long. 73° 32' W., in 197 fathoms, and another large one at Station 311, lat. 39° 59' 30", long. 70° 12' W., in 143 fathoms. Other small ones were from Station 314.
The peculiar elongated snout, similar to that of Macrurus, is attributable to age.
The species has also been taken by the U. S. Fish Commission off Newport in 83-155 fathoms.

New Jersey Lakes Management Program, Lakes Classification Study, Etra Lake, East Windsor, Mercer County

description: Public awareness has heightened in recent years concerning the degradation in water quality and recreational potential of many of the lakes, ponds and reservoirs of New Jersey. The observed deterioration of water quality and its ramifications are accelerated by cultural factors. Although the eutrophication of a lake is a slow natural  process - one which proceeds gradually over thousands of years, it may be accelerated by human activity. Watershed urbanization, the discharge of insufficiently treated sewage and septage, soil erosion, and the application of fertilizers all increase the nutrient load entering the receiving water body. Consequently, increased nutrient loads stimulate productivity. and accelerate the eutrophication process. The fact that a lake is aging (eutrophic) is realized when symptoms such as taste and odor problems, algal blooms, nuisance growths of aquatic plants, oxygen depletion, the accumulation of organic sediments and fish kills are observed. It is at this point that a call for the improvement or restoration of the affected water body is publicly voiced.Recognizing the need to assist local governments in managing their lakes, the Department's Lake Management Program was initiated in 19&5. The development of a statewide inventory was followed shortly thereafter by water chemistry sampling at over 450 lakes. Approximately 30% of New Jersey's lakes were presumed to be eutrophic based on field observations and limited water chemistry data. Final determination of trophic state and the development of management plans, however, necessitated more extensive chemical sampling and analyses.
HER2/Neu DNA Vaccines for Breast Cancer

description: New and innovative treatment strategies, such as immunotherapies, are clearly needed to improve outcomes in breast cancer, which too frequently recurs or progresses despite aggressive multimodality therapy. Cancer vaccines have the potential to both treat existing cancer and prevent its recurrence. In addition, breast cancer vaccines may be an ideal intervention for preventing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a very early form of breast cancer, from progressing to invasive cancer.

 We are developing and evaluating vaccines targeted against the HER2/neu protein. This protein is present on the cell surface of over 50% of DCIS tumors and 30% of invasive breast cancers. The HER2/neu protein acts as an "antenna" on the surface of the cancer cell, receiving signals that cause these cells to grow out of control. In previous work we have explored immunotherapy approaches in mice, which have been altered to express HER2/neu and spontaneously develop breast tumors. When these mice were vaccinated with a HER2/neu protein vaccine, only half of these mice developed breast cancer compared to 90% of control animals. Thus, the potential is evident, but detailed improvements are needed at this stage of our therapeutic development.

 We now propose a major refinement in our vaccine strategy, which will use novel alphavirus-based HER2/neu vaccines. This approach is a special type of immuno-gene therapy in which segments of the HER2/neu gene are introduced into alphaviral DNA expression vectors. These vectors will be introduced into host cells as plasmid DNA. Once inside the host cells, they will exploit viral mechanisms for amplification to yield high level expression of the HER2/neu. This produces an antigen against which the host can generate an immune response. These vectors have been designed such that infectious particles cannot be created. Thus, they are a safe system for vaccine development. As an additional aim, we plan to introduce immunomodulatory proteins (e.g., GM-CSF and IL-2) in the alpa viral vectors to determine if these will enhance the anti-HER2/neu immune response. These experiments will utilize mouse models that endogenously express HER2/neu. In addition to the effect of the DNA vaccine on tumors we will measure parameters of the immune response, such as the relative role of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, T-cell immunity transfer, and cytokine assays.

 Results from this project will lay the foundation for developing and producing novel human HER2/neu vaccines for breast cancer

description: The City of Newark is presently engaged in ambitious urban renewal activities for the revitalizing or rebuilding of existing deteriorating and blighted conditions.During Newark's three hundred years of growth, physical residential and other facilities in many parts of the city have deteriorated to such an extent that they require either complete clearance and replacement of structures, or in some cases effective rehabilitation and restoration of basic minimum standards, in order to provide decent, safe and sanitary use and occupancy.Creeping blight threatens every portion of Newark. Together with the existing severly substandard conditions, it has made imperative the establishment of a city-wide comprehensive renewal program in order to deal effectively with these problems. In addition, the comprehensive program is needed to assign priorities to the various individual renewal projects now under active consideration.The present Demonstration Grant Project was established, therefore, to develop basic principles and study methods to be used in the delineation of all types of renewal treatment areas and to prepare a ten-year renewal program for such areas throughout the city, for the purpose of conservation, rehabilitation and/or redevelopment. The First Interim Report attempts to indicate our general progress, methods used and data investigated, and to outline the initial criteria which have been formulated. It must be emphasized that the report, preliminary in nature, has not been officially adopted by the City of Newark, and represents merely a summary of our efforts to date.
