The Program Management Cost Files span from 1952 to 1984 and are organized into three series: the Ford Foundation Refugee Fund (1952-1957), Travel and Study Award Policy (1957-1964), and Program Management Costs (1961-1984). Set up in 1952 and administered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees on behalf of the Foundation, the Refugee Fund assisted Western and Central European communities with the economic and social integration of post-war refugees. The files for the Fund document its administration and financial and logistical matters. The files for the travel and study award policy review the benefits offered to foreign nationals receiving travel and study awards and their dependents. The files for program management costs constitute the bulk of the collection and shed light on budgets and planning for divisions and programs spanning fiscal years 1961 through 1982. The management costs for International Division programs and field offices as well as the Special Retrenchment Fund are particularly well documented.
