Scope and Content of Collection
This collection consists of a selection of Ursula Bellugi's grant applications, proposals, and related reports dating from
the 1970s to 2013, prepared primarily for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Dr. Bellugi planned and executed these studies while
she was at the Salk Institute's Laboratory for Cognitive Sciences. The documentation in this collection focuses primarily
on her studies of Williams Syndrome and American Sign Language.
Documentation includes original applications, some renewals, progress reports, final reports, and research proposals. Related
material with the same investigation title is grouped together, however, there is no additional overarching arrangement to
the collection.
