The Pan‐American Union, which serves as the general secretariat of the Organization of American States, has received a $66 400 grant from the National Science Foundation for a two‐year cooperative program for the exchange of scientific personnel. Under the program, senior scientists and engineers from the United States will travel to universities and research institutions in other American republics; Latin‐American scientists, in turn, will come to the United States for teaching and research. Three years ago, NSF provided an initial sum of $65 000 for the OAS exchange program, and since that time twenty teaching and research projects have been carried out in nuclear and solid‐state physics, applied mathematics, biochemistry, marine biology, and chemical engineering. Individual projects have been conducted in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, El Salvador, Ecuador, Peru, and the United States.
