Notes

If equal opportunity research is underfunded at DEOMI,5 the situation elsewhere in DoD is hardly better. The Army Research Institute (mentioned earlier) has conducted little signifi cant research in the equal opportunity arena since the later 1970s (Thomas, 1988). To our knowledge, the only Navy program is centered at the Navy Personnel Research and Development Center (NPRDC) in San Diego (Rosenfeld, Thomas, Edwards, Thomas, & Thomas, 1991), an excellent effort which is being scaled back at this time. Except for an occasional graduate thesis, the situation is even grimmer in the Air Force. All of these considerations must make us cautious in anticipating high impacts from the EO research programs described in this chapter.
