> Evelyn Hooker Programs
> The Foundation's Evelyn Hooker Programs are a testament to a
> psychologist whose groundbreaking research in the 1950s helped to
> demonstrate that homosexuality is not attributable to
> psychopathology. In 1992, Dr. Hooker directed a large bequest from the
> Wayne F. Placek Trust to the Foundation. Placek, a native of Nebraska and
> a participant in Dr. Hooker's early study,
> remembered Hooker's landmark research and entrusted a $500,000 bequest to
> her upon his death. The Hooker Programs
> now comprise the Wayne F. Placek Research Grants
> and the Roy Scrivner Research Grants.
