i l r-. \ ' SUB-PROJECT NO. 60 PRINCIPAL RESEARCHER AND LOCATION : Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, Inc., New York City. OBJECTIVE AND DETAILS OF WORK : This project established a covert funding mechanism, the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, Inc., (SIHE), for the support of sociological and psychological studies. Prior to SIHE, this activity was part of the Human Ecology Study Program of Cornell University, which sponsored, with Agency financial, assistance, studies primarily at Cornell. APPROXIMATE TIME SPAN : 1955-1962 SIGNIFICANT ASPECTS : Many projects of little or no direct value to CIA were funded, primarily to develop the cover of SIHE as a legitimate Foundation. These "throw away" projects were carefully screened prior to funding by a review panel which included persons who originally controlled the Cornell Program. Thus, even though projects of little value to the Agency were funded, a panel had reviewed the cover projects for their possible contribution to society. FUNDING : COVER MECHANISM : Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, Inc. APPROXIMATE TOTAL :Not possible to determine at this time. MS E2 IMPOST CL BY
