The research supported by this grant will utilize recent advances               in technology and orbital studies to perform the first systematic               physical study of small asteroids in the main belt.  Such a study               is critically needed to investigate the source region for the                   population of near-Earth asteroids and the collisional evolution                processes within the asteroid belt.  The observations, using                    telescopes at the McGraw-Hill Observatory and the Lowell                        Observatory, will reveal the rotation rates, shapes, basic                      compositions, and surface properties of approximately 30 small                  main belt asteroids.  Knowledge of the rotation rates and shapes                of these objects will provide strong constraints for asteroid                   collisional evolution models.
