The direct expenses of fellowships and grants, including the recently established Regents' fellowships, are covered through the trust funds of the Institution, but administrative costs for the [[underlined]] Office of Fellowships and Grants[[/underlined]], as is the case with American and Folklife Studies, are federally funded. In addition to the Institution's fellowships programs and the Regents' fellowships, the Office of Fellowships and Grants also administers, for the Assistant Secretary for Science, the federally appropriated [[underlined]] Research Awards Program[[/underlined]], and the [[underlined]] Special Foreign Currency Program[[/underlined]].

The [[underlined]] Office of Elementary and Secondary Education [[/underlined]] conducts its activities through federal appropriations, with only occasional trust funds or grants received for support of special meetings or conferences. The [[underlined]] Office of Symposia and Seminars [[/underlined]] receives an annual allotment from trust funds for administration and direction of its activities, which include seeking outside support for the academic and intellectual conferences which it coordinates. Both offices are administered by the Assistant Secretary for Public Service.

The [[underlined]] International Environmental Research Program [[/underlined]] was established in the early 1960's to promote interbureau research on environmental matters by funding special projects using the principal scientific strengths of such organizations as the Tropical Research Institute, Chesapeake Bay Center, Radiation Biology Laboratory, Natural History Museum, and the Zoo. These funds are federally appropriated and administered by the Assistant Secretary for Science.

[[underlined]] Collections Management/Inventory Programs [[/underlined]]. In FY 1979, Congress appropriated special funds in the amount of $500,000 to help allow the Institution to begin conducting a major inventory of its various collections, including those which are to be housed in the Museum Support Center. These funds in FY 1979 were allocated to the Museum of Natural History, Museum of History and Technology, the Cooper-Hewitt, and the Offices of Computer Services and Registrar to permit these units to initiate important projects associated with the overall effort. Descriptions of the bureaus' activities underway are contained in the appropriate chapters; a breakdown of the allocations follows:
