	Pioneer Fund - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pioneer Fund's most notable contribution is what is also its single largest funding, the funding of the landmark Minnesota Twin Family Study and Texas Adoption Project, which studied the similarities and differences of identical twins adopted by different families.
		The Pioneer Fund has stated that it rejects racism, and has claimed that it is the victim of smear campaigns waged by those who consider a discussion of race to be taboo.
		Charles Murray, co-author of the Bell Curve, addressed the fund's history in response to criticism of it: "[T]he relationship between the founder of the Pioneer Fund and today's Pioneer Fund is roughly analogous to the relationship between Henry Ford and today's Ford Foundation."[28] In the 1920s, Henry Ford authored anti-Semitic literature.

	The Pioneer Fund, the Behavioral Sciences, and the Media's False Stories. Eugenics
		The misrepresentation of the Pioneer Fund and the scientists it has supported--including some of the most cited and honored in their respective fields, and the research they have conducted, research that almost certainly would not have been funded by Federal agencies or other foundations--is revealing.
		The Pioneer Fund was founded in 1937 by wealthy investor Wickliffe Preston Draper and four other individuals interested in genetics and evolution as the keys to understanding human nature, both the similarities between individuals and groups and their differences.
		Pioneer grantees have been recognized by their peers by being elected as the presidents of the American Psychological Association, the British Psychological Association, the Behavior Genetics Association, the Psychometric Society, the Society for Psychophysiological Research, the American Educational Research Association, and the National Council on Measurement of Education.

		Pioneer Funds Distributor, Inc., the Fund's principal underwriter, has also advised the Trustees that it believes it may be able more effectively to market the Fund as a balanced Fund than as an income Fund because of the Fund's atypical equity oriented approach to achieving current income.
		The Existing Contract was approved by the shareholders of the Fund November 23, 1993 in connection with acquisition of the Fund from another mutual fund group.

	Speaking Out - From the Pioneer Fund The source of this document is Almanac. +quot;/pennin
		Pioneer strives for excellence in research, and Pioneer-funded science itself is the mainstream, as confirmed by the statement "Mainstream Science on Intelligence" (Wall St. Journal editorial page, December 13, 1994) signed by 52 of the nation's leading experts on the subject from our leading institutions (15 of whom had received Pioneer support).
		Indeed the 23 researchers who received Pioneer grants in the past 10 years are among the most eminent scientists in their respective fields.
		All nine who are members of the APA (and who received two-thirds of all Pioneer money grants in the past decade) have been elected to fellow status in that organization for their "outstanding and unusual contributions" to psychology (an honor held by less than 7% of the APA's 80,000 members).

		When Draper first founded the Fund in 1937, he was looking for "useful science." He was convinced that scientists had the answers he was looking for, but were too timid to admit the truth of race differences, Negro inferiority and the value of eugenics.
		In the early years, Pioneer funds were funneled through small organizations such as the IAAEE and FHU which were set up by marginalized scholars to disseminate work for which there were few mainstream outlets.
		For now, however, it is a useful measure of the Pioneer Fund's success that anti-egalitarian race scientists are more confident and better organized in the United States than at any time since the 1920s, and public policy internationally has begun ineluctably to reflect their assumptions and preferences.

	12/12/01 - Pioneer Fundophobia
		Seldom mentioned is that the Pioneer Fund gave more money to that much-loved Minnesota Twins study than anything else in its 64-year history.
		Perhaps the most bizarre example of Pioneer Fundophobia was the Wall Street Journal's front-page "news" article of June 11, 1999, which attacked Morgan Guaranty Trust for having several decades ago allowed Pioneer Fund founder Wickliffe Preston Draper to withdraw his own dollars from his own Morgan bank account to give to the Pioneer Fund.
		The son of one of Pioneer's directors agreed to succeed his father on the Pioneer board, but then withdrew when the son's wife objected, citing social ostracism and physical danger.

		Pioneer support for all the groups linked to Pearson between 1975 and 1996 amounted to more than $1 million — nearly 10% of total Pioneer grants in that period.
		In recent years, Weyher has said that the Fund is spending down its capital and "once it's gone, we'll just quit." As a result of this policy, by the end of 1996 the Fund's assets had declined in real terms to less than 40 percent of their 1986 level.
		With or without the Pioneer Fund, the debate over genetic racial differences is sure to occupy scholars and others for a long time to come.

	In Genes We Trust: When Science Bows to Racism; eugenics, genetics, human abuse and oppression
		The Pioneer Fund’s original charter outlines a commitment to work for "racial betterment" through studies in heredity and eugenics and to "improve the character of the American people" by encouraging the procreation of descendants of the original white colonial stock.
		From 1991-1992, the Pioneer Fund awarded $124,500 to philosophy professor Michael Levin of the City College of New York, who in 1991 wrote in the Journal of Social, Political, and Economic Studies (edited by the anti-Semitic Roger Pearson): "Race differences in intelligence and motivation are of the greatest significance for American society.

		The Pioneer Fund was established in 1937 by the American white supremacist multimillionaire Wickliffe Draper and others who were supportive of Nazi race policies in Germany.
		One of the first actions of the Pioneer Fund was to pay for the distribution of a Nazi propaganda film, "Hereditary Defective" to high schools, colleges, and churches across the US.
		In the early 1970s, the Pioneer Fund paid the Foundation of Human Understanding to distribute hundreds of free copies of pamphlets by white supremacist psychologists Richard Herrnstein and Arthur Jensen to the registrars' offices of universities across the US in a blatant attempt to influence administration policies against the admittance of African-American students.

	William H. Tucker / The Funding of Scientific Racism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Pioneer Fund, established in 1937 by Wickliffe Preston Draper, is one of the most controversial nonprofit organizations in the United States.
		Long suspected of misusing social science to fuel the politics of oppression, the fund has specialized in supporting research that seeks to prove the genetic and intellectual inferiority of fls while denying its ties to any political agenda.
		This evidence demonstrates that any results of genuine, scientific value produced with the fund's support have been a salutary, if incidental, consequence of its actual purpose: to provide ammunition for what has essentially been a lobbying campaign to prevent the full participation of fls in society and the polity.

		Funding is scarce for such cutting-edge research, which falls beyond the purview of most granting agencies.
		Although dozens of IQ and cognitive ability tests exist, gathering normative (i.e., baseline) data for them is notoriously difficult, in part because of the lack of funds available for this purpose.
		Many behavioral geneticists have told us they could be readily induced to gather cotton swab DNA samples along with the questionnaire data they are collecting (or have already collected) on twin and family relationships, to be placed in storage for later analysis.

		As the recently elected president of The Pioneer Fund, a charitable foundation that gives grants for the study of human genetic variation, it is only fair that I declare my interest before reviewing a book that chronicles the Fund's history, its benefactors, its directors, and most of all, its academic researchers and their findings.
		Other Pioneer funded studies used state-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques to find that IQ scores are related to brain size, while others found that IQ scores are related to speed of neural transmission and brain evoked potentials.
		Lynn, himself a Pioneer Fund grantee and largely responsible for four very important findings about human variation (the Asian IQ advantage, the effect of nutrition on IQ, the secular rise in IQ, and the average African IQ of 70), has provided an invaluable insider's guide to the Fund's history and accomplishments.
