Grants are available from thousands of sources, both private and public. To the grantseeker, however, this wealth of sources appears like an impenetrable jungle.

This book is designed to answer these questions by aiming the grantseeker to both the grant givers and by providing a bibliography of book for further research.

The Commission on Theatre Research was created by the American Theatre Association in 1976 to identify research needs within the field of theatre and to report these to the A. T.A. Executive Committee and to the Association's membership as a whole. Recent projects of the Commission have included the Research Model prepared by our predecessors (see Theatre News, March , 1981) and two dramaturgy reports (see Theatre News , Jan. - Feb ., 1983 , "Commission Produces a Bibliography of Dramaturgy" and , Fall , 1983, "Dramaturgy Survey Expected to Stimulate Research") . The present work is devoted to traditional research, given that previously published Commission reports have addressed performance research . In 1982, as the result of research underway , of general impressions, and of the exhortations of then A. T. A. president-elect Bernard Rosenblatt, the Commission began to investigate the status of theatre research in U. S. colleges and universities (where theatre research is most commonly conducted in this country) with the objectives of specifying the current standing of theatre research and what (in the form of a recommendation to the A. T.A. Executive Committee) ought to be done about it. Certain issues came quickly to the fore, and these, and the conclusions drawn from them, form the contents of this monograph.
