The final series consists of the records of Dr. Alan R. Price. These records include some material from Alvin Zander who chaired one of the policy committees before turning his files over to Price. Price had been involved in research at many levels while at the University of Michigan. In 1979 he was appointed Assistant Dean for Research and Development in the Medical School and directed the Office of Biomedical Research. In the early 1980s he became an administrator in the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) and at one point served as the Interim Vice President for Research for the University. Price also served on the Research Policy Committee in the 1980s, and took a great interest in local and national events dealing with confidential military research at universities.

The Alan Price Records series relates to publicity and policy debates concerning university research activities from 1981 through 1987. The materials primarily document debate over U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) grants that supported confidential weapons research at the university. These records are a valuable resource for those interested in the social unrest and peace movements on campus in the mid-1980s. The Research Policy Committee subseries and the Classified Research Policy Review subseries document research policy formation regarding the sensitive topic of weapons and defense particularly well. The papers are arranged by subject, with the following subseries: Animal Research, Classified Research Policy Review, Nuclear Free Zone, Peace Studies, Research News and Information, Research Policy Committee, Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars"), University Research Initiative, and University Research Instrumentation Program. There is some topical overlap among the series which probably relates to Dr. Price's changing filing determinations over time.
