The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) is located in Panama (first reported on in the March 26, 2004, Scout Report), and hosts hundreds of "visiting scientists from academic and research institutions in the United States and around the world every year." The STRI Bibliography "cites publications by the staff, visitors, fellows and students that result from research supported by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute." The Bibliography contains thousands of references to theses, books, and articles ranging from 1911-2004. Scientists who are interested in conducting research at STRI can link from the Bibliography to the Research Applications section for an application form and information about scientific permits, fees, visiting Panama, and underwater diving.
