Appropriate technologies are defined as those which possess many of the following qualities: they are decentralized, require low capital investment, are amenable to management by their users, result in solutions that conserve natural resources, and are in harmony with the environment. They are also small or intermediate in scale, take into account site-available natural and human resources, and are more labor- than capital-intensive. Under the Appropriate Technology Program, support is given to research on urban innovation; small-scale industrial technology; recycling, resource recovery, and conservation; rural revitalization and the small farm; food and nutrition; and the roles and impacts of appropriate technology on society, the economy, and technological development. Awards for fiscal year 1980 are summarized. Data includes the project title, the principal investigator/project director, performing organization and address, amount of funding, and effective date. Appendices provide the NSF Program Plan for Appropriate Technology, the NSF Program Solicitation for Small Business Innovation Research, and NSF program announcements.
