Anytime The goal of the program is to provide access for new research collaborations between U.S. and Western Europe. Participating countries and multilateral organizations in the region include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, European Commission, European Science Foundation, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, NATO, the Nordic Council, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The Newberry's collections concern the civilizations of Western Europe and the Americas from the late middle ages to the early twentieth century. The Foundation supports the study of Chinese culture, history, and contemporary problems. The focus is on promoting academic and cultural exchange and to further mutual understanding among the peoples and countries of the free world.
Funds provide for research, publications, and seminars.
The purpose of this program is to assist federal regulatory agencies in making science-based decisions about the effects of introducing into the environment genetically modified organisms including plants, microorganisms, fungi, bacteria, viruses, arthropods, fish, birds, mammals and other animals. The program accomplishes this purpose by providing scientific information derived from the risk assessment research that it funds. The scope of the research to be supported under this program is the investigation of atmospheric vertical transport and mixing process. The geographic focus for this research will be on urban areas affected by nearby elevated terrain, with an emphasis on studies of stably stratified conditions, periods with weak or intermittent turbulence, and morning and evening transition periods.
