It appears that Philadelphia's Temple University has a division related to "frontiers of science," a rather official-sounding - and misleading, to some degree - term for UFO research, psychic experiments, and other phenomena that falls outside the realm of accepted science. Founded in 1986, the Center for Frontier Science is an attempt to bring mainstream scientists to those who work on the fringe. Sadly, at least based on this CSICOP article, it appears that it's mostly just a bunch of nuts delving deep into the world of pseudoscience and non-science while ignoring the scientific method and simply making up causes to describe things.
Noted debunker Martin Gardner goes through a few recent Center publications, with articles on water dowsing (the Center held a conference on water dowsing hosted by Terry Ross, a "well-known dowser") to Tarot cards (published by someone at Teacher's College, Columbia University, which frankly has nothing to do with the research at hand) to UFO abduction. An article on homeopathy is almost frightening in its primitive quackery. It's sad when people take these fringe beliefs and treat them like a religion instead of a possible science.
