RESOURCES FOR THE FUTURE (RFF) is an independent nonprofit organization that advances
research and public education in the development, conservation, and use of natural
resources and in the quality of the environment. Established in 1952 with the cooperation
of the Ford Foundation, it is supported by an endowment and by grants from foundations,
government agencies, and corporations. Grants are accepted on the condition that RFF is
solely responsible for the conduct of its research and the dissemination of its work to the
public. The organization does not perform proprietary research.

RFF research is primarily social scientific, especially economic, and is concerned with
the relationship of people to the natural environment--the basic resources of land, water,
and air; the products and services derived from them, and the effects of production and
consumption on environmental quality and human health and well-being. Grouped into
three research divisions--Energy and Materials, Quality of the Environment, and Renew-
able Resources--staff members pursue a wide variety of interests, including food and
agricultural policy, forest economics, natural gas policy, multiple use of public lands,
mineral economics, air and water pollution, energy and national security, hazardous wastes,
and the economics of outer space. Resident staff members conduct most of the organiza-
tion's work; a few others carry out research elsewhere under grants from RFF.

Resources for the Future takes responsibility for the selection of subjects for study and
for the appointment of fellows, as well as for their freedom of inquiry. The views of RFF
staff members and the interpretations and conclusions of RFF publications should not be
attributed to Resources for the Future, its directors, or its officers. As an organization, RFF
does not take positions on laws, policies, or events, nor does it lobby.
