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.
Biography
Ursula Bellugi (born 1931 in Jena, Germany) is a cognitive neuroscientist known for her extensive research on the biological
foundation of language, and the study of the neurobiology of Williams Syndrome. She received her B.A. from Antioch College
in 1952 and an Ed.D. from Harvard University in 1967. In 1970 Bellugi joined the Salk Institute of Biological Studies as a
professor, eventually becoming director of the Laboratory for Cognitive Sciences. She has also served as an adjunct professor
at UC San Diego and San Diego State University. She received the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American
Psychological Association, became a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2008, was on the Advisory Council of the
National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, and is a fellow of the American Associate for the Advancement
of Science.
