Within the National Science Foundation, the Division of International Programs administers the United States-Africa Cooperative Science Program. Three types of cooperative activities receive grant support under the program: cooperative research projects, scientific seminars or workshops, and scientific visits including travel to plan or confer about scientific activities. Priority is given to projects which focus on resources, food and nutrition, ecology, and engineering. Organizations which are eligible for grant funding include non-profit higher educational institutions, scientific institutes, scientific and technical institutes and similar organizations that are chartered to do business in the United States. A list of project grants for FY 1976 and FY 1977 was not obtained.

AbstractRecent actions in Congress that threaten political science funding by the National Science Foundation (NSF) have caught the attention of political scientists, but this was not the first attack and not likely to be the last. Less than one year ago, the Harper government ended the Understanding Canada program, an important source of funding for academics in the United States and abroad. This article stresses the value of the program and the importance of this funding steam by demonstrating what the grants have done both more generally as well as for the authors individually. In addition, by looking at the political process that led to the end of the Understanding Canada program and the similarities in the attacks on NSF political science funding, this article identifies potential reasons why these funds were and are at risk. We conclude by arguing that normative action in support of political science is a necessity for all political scientists.
