National Academy of Sciences: This war emphasizes three facts of supreme importance to national security: Founded in 1934 by industrialist Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., the Foundation disburses approximately $80 million in grants each year in four broad areas: direct support of research in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and economics; initiatives to increase the quality and diversity of scientific institutions and the science workforce; projects to develop or leverage technology to empower research; and efforts to enhance and deepen public engagement with science and scientists. universities.
