Project RACE

Project RACE, A Place for Us National, Interracial Voice, and The Multiracial Activist are the most vocal proponents of this line of argumentation. However, the efforts of the liberal MAVTN Foundation—especially its national Match-Maker Bone Marrow Project —are also exemplary. For more on this front, see the official Web site http //www.mavinfoundation.org. For a critique of the very idea of multiracial public health policy, see Spencer (1999). 

The first attempt to come up with a standard multitechnique NDE format model fulfilling these requirements was one of the main achievements of the TRAPPIST project, led between 1992 and 1994 in the frame of the European RACE Program [1],... 

To be sure, funds may go to some projects defined on racial grounds, but the purpose is not to favor those groups as such but to use that category as the best means to serve the compelling purpose of meeting the health care needs of all citizens. Because some health care differences are race based, race must be taken into account to meet the health care needs of those persons. 

It was clear to me that after the cold war era, the focus of sociopolitical conflict had begun to shift towards existential issues of the survival of the human race, in view of the increasing destruction of the environment. But my ideas were obviously premature, and my project n/as only awarded 2nd place. At the time, the concept seemed too daring. 

This passage is a compelling study of the hatred that can attach to race—virtually no piece of evidence is enough to reverse its course. What follows is a stunning treatment of the complex processes of projection, ascription, and reification, as the anti-Semite contemplates one whom he supposes to be the Jew and slowly recognizes the desire he feels for her. 

Cockburn and Henderson also note there are some grounds for believing that the entry of additional firms into the pharmaceutical research race is not unambiguously welfare-destroying. Competing projects are better described as complements rather than substitutes, and there are significant spillovers of knowledge across firms (p. 508). They conclude that rivalrous research activity is not the dominant factor behind the decision to invest in pharmaceutical research. 

Suess, Jensen, and Harteck were in Norway in order to produce heavy water for the German uranium project. See Dahl, Heavy Water and the Wartime Race for Nuclear Energy, 162-164. 

An alternative to assimilation is to make clear to students that they may cross the sociological border into science with their cultural identity both intact and, perhaps, valued. This is a specific goal of the work of Middlecamp and Subramaniam (1999). Within the biological sciences, including gender as a specific component of course content is a more obvious move than in chemistry (Birke 2001). There are more studies in which a connection of chemistry to sociology occurs through the lens of race and ethnicity, for example, in the Project Inclusion work of Hayes and Perez (1997) and the multicultural examples developed by Middlecamp and Fernandez (1999).
