FOR
FQENCMENCmaiCSL RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
1.0
(S/NF) PORPQSE:
The purpose of this effort is to conduct research and
perform select analyses of anomalous phenomena.
2.0
(U)
BAOCGROCN):
2.1
(C)
Phenomenological research and analysis as intended by this
contract
refers
to
anomalous
phenomena
associated with
human
abilities.
Investigations
in
this
area
have
sometimes
been
referred
to
as
Remote
Viewing
(KV) ,
Extrasensory
Perception
(ESP) ,
and
recently
Anomalous
Cognition
(AC)
or Anomalous Phenomena
(AP) .
Foreign researchers have also
used the term psychoenergetics to describe aspects of these areas.

2.2
(S/NF)
Over the past sixteen years DIA has followed the field of
psychoenergetics for two basic reasons:
2.4
(S/NF)
In
1983
a
report
with
project
findings
was
sent
to
congressional
intelligence
and
appropriation
committees.
The
report
affirmed the
existence of
remote viewing phenomenon and recommended that
avMi+Hnrwi
research
far
quantifying
and
developing remote viewing
as an
intelligence collection tool be pursued.
Ihis reconmendaticn was endorsed
by a special Science Panel that met to review the project findings.
This
panel also affirmed that the contractual research was scientifically sound
and urged that basic and applied research in psychoenergetics be continued,
its scope expanded, and that other laboratories be involved.

2.5
(S/NF)
The
first
opportunity to
expand
this
research
scope
occurred in 1985.
The Department of the Array'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-ariented 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
Ocomittee
(HAC).
This
funding
was
provided to DIA; MIER 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,
follcw-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
IY92
to
continue
this
effort
and to
start new
research.

OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this contract is to continue the
most premising basic and applied research in this area that resulted from
the FY 1991 effort.
It also includes follcw-on to exploratory work in order
to demonstrate statistical significance and identify underlying parameters.

shall
be
brought
to
bear

this
effort.
In addition,
expertise in multidisciplinary areas throu^KXit SAIC
shall be made available as consultants car far 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
COIR.
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.

This effort will utilize a technical review group
(e.g. , a
Scientific
Oversight
Committee,
a
Human

Panel
and
a
Policy
