We used National Science Foundation data on federal funds provided to non-university R amp;D performers, federal agency web sites, and information from state development officials and other individuals familiar with the science and technology base of each state to identify eighteen major research institutions located in six Appalachian states (see Table6 ). We were able to document funding levels only for defense-related labs.... ..."

In addition to official state bodies, this category includes associations created by the Social Investment Fund and Rural Development Fund. It is also striking that all categories of local associations in Bolivia rely strongly on a formal organizational structure ( Table14 ). Only education/health groups and social service groups are informally organized to some degree.... ..."
