Abstract: The Research Applied to National Needs (RANN) program was created in an effort to focus U.S. scientific and technical resources on selected problems of national importance. In order to achieve its objectives, RANN focuses its efforts in five major problem areas: resources, environment, productivity, intergovernmental science and development incentives, and exploratory research and technology assessment. This report presents brief summaries of projects funded by the Division of Advanced Environmental Research and Technology (AENV) during the three-month Transition Quarter (July 1 to September 30) between the end of Fiscal Year 1976 and beginning of Fiscal Year 1977. The report describes the nature of the division's five subelements: Chemical threats to man and environment; Regional environmental management; Earthquake engineering; Societal response to natural hazards; and Weather modification. An appendix which lists the grantees, titles of their research, and amounts awarded is also included in this report.
