Human Ecology Fund 
Summary
The Human Ecology Fund was a CIA-funded operation through the Cornell University College of Human Ecology Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology to support covert research on brainwashing. It was also connected to research in the area of anthropology.[1]
MK-Ultra connection edit
Louis Jolyon West was among many who received funds from the CIA through the fund. He did his psychiatry residency at Cornell University, an MKUltra institution and site of the Human Ecology Fund.[2][3][4] He was later contracted by the CIA and the proposal submitted by West was titled "Psychophysiological Studies of Hypnosis and Suggestibility" with an accompanying document titled "Studies of Dissociative States".[5]
