Sponsorship of Scientific Research i$' Research Grants Scheme The award of research grants is one of the main activities of the NSF to promote scientific and technological research in the country. The NSF entertained applications for research grants throughout the year with a rolling deadline. This facilitated the scientists to obtain funds for their research activities as and when the need arose. I n year 2001 NSF called applications for research grants through a newspaper advertisement also. During'the year 109 applications were received to be considered for funding. The applications are screened and evaluated by the NSF Working Committees. The Working Committees are made up of eminent scientists of different disciplines drawn from universities and public/private sector institutions. Based on their recommendat~ons these applications are forwarded to the Board of Management for approval. Research grants thus awarded are monitored regularly through half-yearly progress reports. I n addit~on, progress review seminars are held where grantees make presentations based on the work carried out under the project. This gives them the opportunity to clarify problems faced by them and carryout the research work more effectively. Working Committee members visit the project sites in some cases with a view to ascertaining the work done by the grantees. Once the research project is completed, a final report is submitted by the grantees which is evaluated by a specialist appointed by the Working Committee. The evaluation takes into account any postgraduate degrees awarded to personnel associated with the project and also the intrinsic scientific contributions made towards widening the horizons of knowledge and/or application of science and technology for development. Summary of information about the Research Grants Scheme for the year 2001 is given below. Details of grants awarded in year 2001 are given in the annexes.

During the year, the computer system was installed, 2nd staff was trained on "Manpower Research" and Development of Manpower-Information systems (Details are given 'under staff training programmes). National Consultant for the MIS commenced w o r ~ for the initial 3 months in September 2001. The MIS has also concluded the tracer Study of graduates passed out in 1998/1999 of which the final part is being prepared. A study on Manpower rcq~irements in ten selected industrial sectors was commenced to identi@ the demand for graduates in industrial sectors. The study is in progress. .. Four Scientific Officers working under 4DB/NTS prgjject: were trained overseas.: Details are given under "Staff development & Training". $$ Dab&ase on ~ a t u r ' i ~rodw&~ ~ese~rc /a carried out in Sri Lank3 On a recommendation made by the Working Committee on Chemial & Earth Sciences to overrmme the existing problems faced by scientists and researchers in the field of Natural Products Chemistry, the Board approved a project to ser up a database on Natural Products research carried out in Sri Lanka. The Committee was 2f the view that such a database is now timety since although Natural Products Research has been a major area for support frgm the NSF, much of the research results lie in proceedings of meetings and final reports. Further, the published data are scattered in various journals and is not easily accessible to a person seeking information on the work carried out in Sri Lanka on a given Sri Lankan plant. t P o / i q and Guidelines for Recornbinant DNA Tecbndogy The Working Committee on B~otechnology recornmerlded preparing a Laborztoty Policy and Guidelines for the safe use of Recornkinafit DNA Technology in Sri Lanka. The aim of the policy is to encourage the use of safe laboratory practices while promoting research in Biokhnology. As a preliminary step towards this, the current sitoation i1.r the country with regard to research & development work involved in b~otechnology was studied. The laboratories and the scientists conducting work in this field at present were also identified and iriosmation was complied. 4 Communiques sent to Governme::t Organizations The National Man & the Biosphere Committee has forwarded a resolution to Mr. R. Maligaspe, Additional Secretary to Her Excellency the President, expressing concern regarding the danger to which the Sinharaja World National Heritage site would be expo.sed if the areas of natural forest bordering the reserve (1437 ha of Illumbakanda Estate including 62 ha proposd for Organic Tea Project and 46.56 ha of Murakelawatta, Kudawa, Wedciagala) were alienated for non forest uses. + Science & Techncxbgy Article 'drans/ati~fl Competdtr'on The Working Committee on Science Education & Popularisation launched an island wide competilion Tor sckool chjldren in Grades 10 - 13 for transfating articles on Science and Technology from' EngIlsh to Sinhala or Tamil.
