FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA) FY2020 VANNEVAR BUSH FACULTY FELLOWSHIP
Dr. Vannevar Bush (1890-1974) was a forward-thinking policymaker who served as the director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II, coordinating the work of thousands of scientists in the service of ending the war.
In his 1945 report to the President of the United
States, "Science, The Endless Frontier," Bush called for an expansion of government support for science, and he pressed for the creation of the National Science Foundation.
Dr. Bush was concerned about how the scientific research supported by the War Department during WWII could be sustained with a focus on peacetime goals.
He believed that basic research was "the pacemaker of technological progress." "New products and new processes do not appear full-grown," Bush wrote.
"They are founded on new principles and new conceptions, which in turn are painstakingly developed by research in the purest realms of science." Before World War II, Dr. Bush was a professor and Dean of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and founded a large defense and electronics company.
The DoD names this program after Dr. Vannevar Bush in his honor.
