Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002100230001-3 SECRET IV Resources Required (S/NF) To achieve these objectives, the program will have both external and in-house expertise spanning a wide range of diciplines. Some of this will come from people who have a demonstrated track-record in this research area; others may have only indirect association (or none at all), but may contribute to this program if their research has potential for phenomena understanding. Others may be involved as consultants so that the widest interdisciplinary viewpoints can be applied to this program. This resource mix will insure that the peer group review and scientific interactions are maximized. (S/NF) The facilities involved range from academic laboratories to contractor and government facilities. Some of this work will be unclassified and can be released to the public according to guidelines developed in the program. Classified aspects, such as direct operational investigations, would be subject to close-hold compartmental security control. (S/NF) Since this program builds upon the observations and conclusions developed from the previous intelligence-sponsored GRILL FLAME project, some of its most promising applications and research investigations will continue so that program continuity can be maintained. (S/NF) Other facilities, including academic institutes and a variety of contractor and government research centers, will be brought into the program as soon as practical in this multi-year effort. Specific facilities involved and their time phasing would depend, among other things, on funding sources available, proposal evaluation and contract negotiation time, security considerations, various operational issues and research problems and their priorities. (C) Financial resources for this program should be as stable as possible, especially for long-term applications and basic research projects.
