Organized according to interview and visit, DeVinney discusses projects and proposals with professionals in the field of social science. The documented interviews describe the background of the interviewee, their current research and Devinney's thoughts or actions on whether or not these proposals would be acceptable RF research grant projects. He is involved in the progress of the RF programs, development of new projects and financing current and future research. DeVinney attends the Conference on Business Managers of Predominantly Negro colleges, the Meeting on the Race and Education Project and the White House Conference. He also travels to various universities to assess their summer preparatory programs for underprivileged and minority students.
