A compilation of the active research tasks as of the end of the fiscal year 1984 of the Microgravity Science and Applications Program, NASA-Office of Space Science and Applications, involving several NASA centers and other organizations is presented. The purpose is to provide an overview of the program scope for managers and scientists in industry, university, and government communities. An introductory description of the program, strategy and overall goal; identification of the organizational structures and people involved; and a description of each research task, together with a list of recent publications is presented. The tasks are grouped into six categories: Electronic Materials; Solidification of Metals, Alloys, and Composites; Fluid Dynamics and Transports; Biotechnology; Glasses and Ceramics; and Combustion.
