Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003000410001-3 2.5 (S/NF) The first opportunity to expand this research scope occurred in 1985. The Department of the Ammy's Surgeon General Office for Research and Development (DASGRD) initiated a five year research and development program. The SGRD program centered on two main aspects: basic anomalous phenomena understanding, and applications-oriented research. DIA established close ties with this R/D effort to ensure that applications research would be adequately pursued. 2.6 (S/NF) In 1987, it became apparent that SGRD funding might not be available to carry through to the end of the five year period. Consequently, additional funding was sought by DIA and acquired through funding transfer action by the House Appropriations Conmittee (HAC) . This funding was provided to DIA; MIPR action to the SGRD contract was the most expeditious method of allocating this funding. 2.7 (S/NF) Results of this effort yielded several findings of breakthrough potential. Subsequently, follow-on research support was provided to DIA by Congressional action for FY91; DIA was identified as the executive agent due to long-standing knowledge and expertise in this area. Both R&D and O/M funds were allocated for continuing basic and applied research, for applied investigation and for assisting in assessment of relevant foreign research. Additional funds were also provided by congressional action in FY92 to continue this effort and to start new research. ; 3.0 (S/NF) OBJECTIVE: The objective of this contract is to continue the most promising basic and applied research in this area that resulted fran the FY 1991 effort. It also includes follow-on to exploratory work in order to demonstrate statistical significance and identify underlying parameters. 4.0 (S/NF) SOOPE: Basic research, applied research and threat assessments will be accomplished for this Phenomenological area. 5.0 (S/NF) TECHNICAL/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: 5.1 (S/NF) All research activities and findings resulting from previous programs in psychoenergetics shall be brought to bear on this effort. In addition, expertise in miltidisciplinary areas throughout SAIC shall be made available as consultants or for special support as required. 5.2 (U) Specialized support, if not available at the contractor, can be obtained via consultant or subcontract efforts with prior approval by the COrR. Every effort should be made to insure such support is from the recognized experts in the field. Some of the specific tasks in section 6.0 can be performed in unclassified facilities. 5.3 (S/NF) This effort will utilize a technical review group (e.g., a Scientific Oversight Committee, a Human Use Review Panel and a Policy Board) that was established in the previous effort.

All such investigations will be fully planned and coordinated with the COTR and will be under the purviews of the SOC and the Human Use Review Committee. 5.5 (U) Should unforseen schedule of other issues arise concerning any of the specific tasks identified in section 6.0, the COTR will be given immediate notice. If necessary, adjustments to priorities and schedules can ‘be approved by the COIR if there is no cost or other impact on the over-all program. The OOTR will also review/approve all anticipated research protocols. . 5.6 (U) All items in sections 6.0 and 7.0 will be funded from R&D funding provided by this contract, and shall be expended NLT 18 months after ‘ contract award. Accounting procedures to clearly identify the R&D expenditures shall be implemented by the contractor.’ 5.7 (U) Terms of reference and additional task details are on file by the OCOTR and will be provided to the contractor to insure adequate task understanding.

(U) Authority Cited: 10 U.S.c. 2304(c) (1); FAR 6.302-1, “Only one Responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy Agency requirements." 3. (U) Description of Supplies/Services: The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) proposes to procure Phenomenological Research and Analysis Services for a DIA special activity program. External assistance funds available for this Congressional Directed Program total $1,850,000.00. This request (PR No. 330/025Z/92) provides $400,000.00 of this total amount as a modification to an existing contract (MDA 908-91-C-0037). The remaining R&D funding will be for new work and will be processed separately as a new contract. 4.  (U) Description of Action: It is anticipated that a cost-plus-fixed fee contract will be negotiated and awarded to satisfy this requirement. Funds are R&D as cited on Purchase Request No. 330/0252/92. 5. (U) Reason for Authority Cited: a. (S/NF) This action is based on the need to utilize previous research achievements developed under other DoD-sponsored R&D efforts. The bulk of this prior R&D effort was provided by the Department of the Amy's Surgeon General Office (SGRD) in 1985 and spanned several years. This basic and applied’ research effort involved Dr. Edwin May as the principle researcher and program manager. Dr. May was at that time with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), Menlo Park, CA. He has since joined the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and has taken his extensive data base and key research assistants with him. Dr. May is regarded as the leading U.S. investigator in this phenomenological area. He has been a program manager in this area since 1986, and has a long involvement (over 20 years) in this field. His extensive work history provides for continuity not available from any other individual. He is recognized by investigators world-wide, and can easily remain current with relevant foreign research.
