Abstract
As recounted in Chapter 1, the Ford Foundation joined the postwar population movement with two substantial grants to the Population Council, made through the Behavioral Sciences Program, in 1954 and 1957. In the minds of the officers responsible for behavioral sciences at the foundation, population was apparently not a memorable activity. After the Behavioral Sciences Program was terminated in 1957, William McPeak, a foundation vice president who inherited oversight of the program from Rowan Gaither, and Bernard Berelson, the program’s director, each wrote postmortem evaluations of the work in the Behavioral Sciences Program that omitted any reference to its population work.1 KeywordsFamily PlanningFamily Planning ProgramRockefeller FoundationPopulation WorkFord FoundationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
