ORGANIZED RESEARCH / 63 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA MONOGRAPH SERIES The Graduate School sponsors two monograph series devoted to the pub- lication of research primarily by present and former members of the scholarly community of the University. The Social Sciences Monographs are published four times each year with subjects drawn from anthropology, economics, his- tory, political science, sociology, education, geography, law, and psychology. The Humanities Monographs are published three times each year with subjects drawn from art, language and literature, music, philosophy, and religion. ORGANIZED RESEARCH THE DIVISION OF SPONSORED RESEARCH has two general functions: (1) the administration and promotion of the Sponsored Research Program and (2) the support of the total research program of the University in a manner which produces maximum benefit to the University and the greatest service to the State of Florida. All proposals for the sponsorship of research, grants- in-aid, or training grants must receive the approval of the Division Director. Subsequent negotiations with potential contracting agencies or sponsors of research projects are carried on under the Director's supervision. The activities of the Division of Sponsored Research are intended to stimulate growth and to assist in expanding a balanced research program throughout the University. These activities are intimately related to the support of the graduate program. They are also intended to relieve principal investiga- tors and departments of many of the detailed administrative and reporting duties connected with some sponsored research. The duties and responsibilities of the Division, of course, are designed to supplement the prerogative of the principal investigator to seek sponsors for his own projects and the responsi- bility of the researcher for the scientific integrity of a project. In direct con- tacts between a principal investigator and a potential sponsor, however, prior clearance should be obtained from the Division to insure a uniformity in contract requirements and to avoid duplication of negotiations with the same sponsor. The Division of Sponsored Research is administratively responsible to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Policies and procedures for the opera- tion of the Division are developed by a Board of Directors working with the Division Director within the general framework of the administrative policies and procedures of the University. The Research Council serves as adviser on scientific matters. The Dean of the Graduate School and the Graduate Council serve as advisers on matters relating to the graduate program. THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS are responsible for research leading to the improvement of all phases of Florida's widely varied agricul- tural production, processing, and marketing. The stations are administered from the University of Florida campus by the Dean for Research and in- clude main station departments as well as Agricultural Research and Edu-
