Abstract: | Geographers have become increasingly interested in who receives grants for basic research and why. Northeastern U.S. universities, and especially private universities in the Northeast, dominated those of all other regions in the number of proposals submitted to the Geography and Regional Science Program of the National Science Foundation as well as the number of funded projects and total awarded funds during the period 1979–1981. Successful grant applicants submitted proposals that demonstrated excellent potential to make a significant contribution towards improving the theoretical and methodological foundations of geography. |
