The NTL Institute Foundation
is dedicated to the expansion and application of the field
of applied behavioral science. Through participant
scholarships, facility development, program development,
and action research the NTL Institute Foundation addresses
the needs of an increasingly diverse and interdependent
world.
The Foundation seeks funding
for and allocates support for:
- Scholarships: the foundation will support the
participation of individuals from not-for-profit
domestic and international organizations with a
special emphasis on people of color and participants
from developing countries who would not otherwise have
the opportunity to engage in and learn from NTL
Institute's work.
- Facilities development: the Foundation seeks to
develop NTL Institute's Bethel property into a
state-of-the-art facility for training and an
environment that provides participants with maximum
learning opportunities.
- Program development: the Foundation supports
new program development focused on the application of
skills to strengthen individual effectiveness,
organizational capacity building, to address complex,
systemic change and innovation, promote community
development, and maximize the contributions of
increasingly diverse workforces and communities.
- Research: the Foundation supports research that
fosters a spirit of inquiry and engagement and
improves the knowledge and skills of practitioners.
The Foundation's research focuses in the following
broad areas: group dynamics and group process,
participatory planned change, self as an instrument of
change, learning methodologies and applications, research in community development,
and cross-cultural
differences.
