The US research enterprise too heavily centers on elite research institutions, and fails individual researchers with bold ideas, suggests the White House Office of Science and Technology in a new report. The office recommends sweeping changes to where federal funding is spent and how it should be awarded.
Released on July 21, the Science: A New Golden Age report seeks to update Vannevar Bush’s landmark 1945 report Science: The Endless Frontier for the modern era. In the report, OSTP Director Michael Kratsios argues that today’s scientific landscape — shaped by AI, global competition, and private-sector investment — requires a fundamental redesign of how the federal government funds research.
Also on July 21, Kratsios and White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought jointly published a memorandum on the Trump administration’s R&D budget priorities for fiscal year 2028. The memo instructs science agencies to incorporate the administration’s priorities into their forthcoming budget requests, as well as develop implementation plans within 90 days for a series of “R&D priority practices.” Those include:
Developing new research funding mechanisms; Identifying and supporting top tech talent through, for example, early career and STEM-learning opportunities; Boosting the “science of science-funding” to evaluate which programs have the greatest impact; And collaborating with industry to drive greater private investment in R&D.
The memo directs agencies to rebalance their portfolios toward foundational research, and prioritize physical science over life science. Many of the administration’s priorities, including AI and nuclear fission, are dependent on computer science, physical science, and engineering, but the report notes that the latter two fields’ share of the federal research portfolio has declined over time, even as their strategic importance has grown.
Fuck the fucking idiots in the fucking Whitehouse. They are doing everything they can to wreck the future of this country. I swear they are all Russian assets.
Epstien worked for israel, and Maxwell's father was a spy. The whole thing was a gigantic honeypot meant to ensnare stupid politicians into toeing the line.
Its absoluety incredible than a couple decades and a few 10s of millions of dollars for party supplies was all it took to completely own the most powerful country on the planet.
It was so successful, you really have to wonder how many more of these rings exist. There is no way epstien was the only one, we only know about him because he got caught.
they are trying very hard to keep the files from being fully released, they are hoping to keep muddying the waters, or until politicians stop going after them that arnt in the files.
Maxwell's father also created the for-profit science publishing paywall model.
so it was him, and no nomral person acess journals for free, without going through unconventional means(like being a student at a university)
