Desert Research Institute, 1953-1991, Undated
- Scope and content:
- The Desert Research Institute, or D.R.I., was established in 1959 as part of the University of Nevada (currently called the Nevada System of Higher Education). Their mission calls for a blend of traditional, basic research with interdisciplinary, applied research methods. Although Schaefer did not have a hand in creating the D.R.I., he did act as a consultant for them during his time at the ASRC/SUNY. His Natural Sciences Institute also expanded to include a field station at the D.R.I., so this subseries is a blend of Schaefer’s consulting materials as well as applications and curriculum planning for the N.S.I. summer programs.
