Federal

While the above grants originated from State programs, some of the support for the state educational and systems initiatives originated from the Federal government. We have included specific pages about support by a specialized educational division of the Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). While these programs were supporting specifically the design, delivery, and testing of advances in education, they were all contributing to the same development of systems literacy for the first time in human populations and especially in the research teams working for the Institute for Advanced Systems Studies on the Systems Processes Theory (SPT) and its Isomorphies.
