Office of Vice President for Research Moving Forward in the Post-war Era What scientific contributions have been made during the war? What can be done now in the war of science against disease? What can the government do to aid research activities? Can an effective program be proposed for the discovery and development of scientific talent in American youth? November 1944: President Roosevelt’s letter to Dr. Vannevar Bush asked the following: 32 nd U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt

Office of Vice President for Research Moving Forward in the Post-war Era Scientific contributions Penicillin, radar, better agricultural products, jobs in new industries (radio, air conditioning, rayon, synthetic fibers/rubber, plastics) More abundant food supply, better living, more leisure, longer life, and better health War of science against disease Extend financial support for basic medical research in medical schools and universities. Aid for research activities More and better scientific research is essential for our goal of full employment. Basic research should be strengthened by use of public funds. Create science advisory board to advise executive/legislative branches of government. Allow deduction of R&D expenditures for industry research. Promote international flow of scientific information. Developing scientific talent For every boy or girl shall know that, if s/he shows that s/he has what it takes, the sky is the limit. Remove barriers for receiving higher education. Provide reasonable number of scholarships and fellowships for advanced training and fundamental research. Create a National Research Foundation. July 1945: Dr. Vannevar Bush provided the following recommendations: Dr. Vannevar Bush

Office of Vice President for Research Post-World War II 1946: Office of Naval Research 1946: Department of Energy 1947: National Laboratories 1950: National Science Foundation 1954: President’s Science Advisory Committee 1980: Bayh-Dole Act 1989: End of the Cold War : Steps Toward Interdisciplinary Research Birch Bayh II U.S. Senator from Indiana Bob Dole U.S. Senator from Kansas

Office of Vice President for Research Recent Trends (2000 – today) Challenges Driving Interdisciplinary Research The inherent complexity of Nature and Society The drive to explore basic research problems at the interfaces of disciplines The need to solve societal problems The stimulus of generative technologies

Office of Vice President for Research Science, Technology, and Policy Policy combined with infrastructure provides an endless frontier for science and technology. Infrastructure Policy An infrastructure enables us to undertake challenges and explore new avenues.
