ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF GRANT SUPPORT

The present curriculum of the Science in Society Program was put in place with the assistance of a grant of $95,000 from 1995-99 for "Developing an Undergraduate Major in Humanistic Studies of Science." The grant (# EW-20349-95) was funded through a joint initiative for "Sciences and the Humanities: Integrating Undergraduate Education) by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation. We gratefully acknowledge the indispensable support of the N.E.H. and the N.S.F.

The Program was originally established through a five year grant from the National Science Foundation and the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education in 1975 [History of the Science in Society Program], for which we remain grateful. We especially appreciate the commitment of these agencies to continue to foster broader perspectives on the sciences within the undergraduate curriculum. We respond with a commitment of our own: to continue to rethink our intellectual commitments and our curriculum so as to sustain our faculty's and our Program's roles as contributors to better understanding the sciences as integral components of our world.
