The Task Force is an alliance of America's leading companies, research universities, and scientific societies. America's future relies on the strength of our ideas. We advocate for sustained research budgets at the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy Office of Science, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Department of Defense, and the Natonal Aeronautics and Space Administration.
What's At Stake?
Our Economy, Security, Health and Environment ... to name a few. Basic research leads to innovation -- new products and services, new ways to address our greatest challenges, even entirely new industries. That means high value jobs, a better quality of life, and a competitive economy.
Basic research uncovers new insights that the private sector — through applied research —brings to our world. Basic research finds new energy sources, equips our soldiers, and helps us protect the environment. From the internet, to magnetic resonance imaging, to solar panels, basic research has proven to be one of America's best investments. Learn more.
