Established in June 1966, the Hawaii Research Coordinating Unit (RCU) terminated under the original Federal grant August 31, 1969. Located in the community college system of The University of Hawaii, the RCU serves all levels of vocational and technical education throughout the state. Among the purposes identified as guidelines for the RCU were: (1) stimulate and generate research, (2) identify research and development needs and implement research efforts, (3) disseminate research information, (4) provide liaison in occupational research, and (5) provide effective Unit administration. Activities contributing to the success of the RCU included: (1) developing personnel resources, (2) implementing limited action type research programs engaging instructional staff, and (3) coordinating effort with the national network of RCUs. Progress, developments, and factors inhibiting achievement of goals have been documented in the 11 quarterly technical progress reports. (Author/JS)
