Administrators of home economics research programs in 62 land-grant universities supplied data that were used to ascertain (1) the number and sub ject-matter distribution of faculty engaged in research, (2) the number and distribution of persons with competency to conduct research, and (3) the need for well-trained researchers in the future. Nearly 700 individuals were actively engaged in research activities with approximately 0.31 science years of support (representing salary, supplies, and maintenance) per researcher. The greatest numbers were in food and nutrition and in child development and family rela tions. A sizeable proportion of faculty members were qualified to conduct research but were not currently active in their respective fields. Many other faculty conduct research without financial support in addition to their full-time teaching and/or administrative responsibil ities. A substantial number of new researchers will be needed by the end of the decade. (Home Economics Research Journal, June 1976, Vol. 4, No. 4)
