What these case studies neglect to account for is diversity, equity, and 9 inclusion (DEI).

In response, he wrote the nowfamous policy paper7, “Science, the Endless Frontier, in which he argued for stable and long-termfunding of scientific research. This paper was the basis for establishment of the National ScienceFoundation, and expanded the portfolios of the Office of Naval Research, the Atomic EnergyCommission and the National Institutes of Health. These agencies comprised a significant newsource of funding for academic research in the sciences.
