The Title IV-B Research and Development program represents a primary source of basic knowledge required by the Administration on Aging in carrying out the legislative mandates of the Older Americans Act, as amended. In FY 1976, AoA sought through its Research and Development Strategy to develop research activities focused around two principal themes: 1) information critical to effective planning and management of the Title III State and Community Grants Program; 2) knowledge on aging and old age instrumental to achieving the general objectives for older Americans outlined in Title I of the Older Americans Act. These two themes parallel Goals I and III, respectively, of AoA as set forth in its Forward Plan for FY 1977-1982. The new research project awards for FY 1976 are listed below under five subject area headings: Program and Policy Issues Development and Adoption of Policies for the Elderly: The Legislative Process, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Ill., $144,619.
