STATEMENT OF WORK
FOR
PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
1.0 (S/NF) PURPOSE: The purpose of this effort is to initiate new
research and perform select analyses of anomalous phenomena.
2.1 (C) Phenomenological research and analysis as intended by this
contract refers to anomalous phenomena associated with human abilities.
Investigations in this area have sometimes been referred to as Remote
Viewing (RV), Extrasensory Perception (ESP), and recently Anomalous
Cognition (AC) or Anomalous Phenomena. (AP). Foreign researchers have also
used the term psychoenergetics to describe aspects of these areas.
2.2 (S/NF) Over the past fifteen years DIA has followed the field of
psychoenergetics for two basic reasons:
2.4 (S/NF) In 1983 a report with project findings was sent to
congressional intelligence and appropriation committees. The report
affirmed the existence of remote viewing phenomenon and recommended that
additional research for quantifying and developing remote viewing as an
intelligence collection tool be pursued. This recommendation was endorsed
by a special Science Panel that met to review the project findings. This
panel also affirmed that the contractual research was scientifically sound
and urged that basic and applied research in psychoenergetics be continued,
its scope expanded, and that other laboratories be involved.

 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003000410002-2
4.5 (S/NF) The first opportunity to expand this research scope
occurred in 1985. The Department of the Army's Surgeon General Office for
Research and Development (DASGRD) initiated a five year research and
development program. the SGRD program centered on two main aspects: basic
anomalous phenomena understanding, and applications-oriented research. DIA
established close ties with this R/D effort to ensure that applications
research would be adequately pursued.
2.b (S/NF) In 1.987, it became apparent that SGRD funding might not be
available to carry through to the end of the five year period. Consequently,
additional -funding was sought by DIA and acquired through funding transfer
action by the House Appropriations Committee (HAC). This funding was
provided to DIA; h1IPR action to the SGRD contract was the most expeditious
method of allocating this funding.
2.7 (S/NF) Results of this effort yielded several findings of
breakthrough potential. Subsequently, follow-on research support was
provided to DIA by Congressional action for FY91; DIA was identified as the
executive agent-due to long-standing knowledge and expertise in this area.
Both R&D and O/M funds were allocated for continuing basic and applied
research, for applied investigation and for assisting in assessment of
relevant foreign research. Additional funds are also anticipated for this
area after a comprehensive research plan is defined.
3.0 (S/NF) OBJECTIVE: The objective of this contract is to pursue the
most promising basic and applied research in this area, to develop a
comprehensive plan for future activities, and to identify/improve
application potential.
4.0 (SINE) SCOPE: Basic research, applied research and threat assessments
will be accomplished for this phenomenological area.
5.0 (S/NF) TECHNICAL/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
5.1 (S/NF) All research activities and findings resulting from
previous programs in psychoenergetics shall be 'brought to bear on this
effort. In addition, expertise in multidisciplinary areas throughout SAIC
shall be made available as consultants or for special support as required.
5.2 (U) Specialized support, if not available at SAIC, can be
obtained via SAIC consultant or subcontract efforts with prior approval by
the COTR. Every effort should be made to insure such support is from the
recognized experts in the field. Some of the specific tasks in section 6.0
can be performed in unclassified facilities.
5.3 (S/NF) This effort will utilize a technical. review group (e.g., a
Scientific Oversight Committee, a Human Use Review Panel and a Policy
Board). Their establishment will be in coordination with, and approved by,
the COTR.

5.4 (S/NF) Some of the experiments/investigations required to fulfill
this contract may require participation of select government personnel. All
such investigations will be fully planned and coordinated with the COPT, and
will be under the purviews of the SOC and the Human Use Review Committee.
5.5 (U) Should unforseen schedule of other issues arise concerning
any of the specific tasks identified in section 6.0, the COTR will be given
immediate notice. If necessary, adjustments to priorities and schedules can
be approved by the COTR if there is no cost or other impact on the over-all
program. The COTR will also review/approve all anticipated research
protocols.
5.6 (U) All items in section 6.0 (except 6.5) will be funded from the
R&D portion of this contract. Sections 6.1 through 6.4 shall be expended
NLT 18 months after contract award. Section 6.5 will be funded from the O&M
portion, and shall be expended no later than 30 September 1991. Accounting
procedures to clearly identify the R&D and the O&M expeditures shall be_ -
implemented by the contractor.
5.7 (U) Terms of reference and additional task details are on file by
the COTR and will be provided to the contractor to insure adequate task
understanding. This material is contained in D1A publication DT-S-1007-S,
29 NOV 1990.
6.1 (U) Research Plan Development: Provide inputs for development of
a long-term comprehensive basic and applied research plan. This will
require extensive expert consultation and will involve an inter-laboratory,
inter-disciplinary approach.
6.2.1 (U) Magnetoencephalograph (MEG) Investigations:
6.2.1.1 (U) Calibrate the electromagnetic/magneto-
encephalograph (MEG) environment and replicate earlier results using a
variety of population types.
6.2.1.2 (U) Examine MEG evoked responses from several
population types and correlate with remote viewing ability for various
physical conditions.
6.2.2 (U) Data Patterns/Correlations:
6.2.2.1 (C) Using data from past basic research
experiments, compare target features (e.g., type, dynamics) with remote
viewing results to determine if any patterns or correlations exist.
6.2.2.2 (C) Initiate new experiments to further examine
possible target type/remote viewing result correlations.
