CULTURE AND RESEARCH
Research
Research in all fields in the Territory is carried out primarily by special
projects sponsored by outside agencies
and byscientists affiliated with educational institutions. The Trust Territory
Public Affairs Department or other
department concerned coordinates
visits to the Territory of scientists
desiring to conduct field study for
research projects. The Administration
also cooperates with other governmental and private research organizations. One example is the continued
tesearch contact with the Pacific
Science Board of the National
Academy
of Sciences, National
Research Council. The Administration
also utilizes the South Pacific Commission specialists and technical
advisers working under the Commission’s auspices.
