The Academy serves as a key resource to national policy-makers on issues pertaining to the U.S. scientific research enterprise and its importance to technological innovation.

New Models for U.S. Science and Technology PolicyScientific and technological advances are fundamental to the prosperity, health, and security of the United States. After World War II, a strong partnership among the federal government, universities, and industry sup-ported extraordinary scientific discovery and technolog-ical innovation. To remain at the forefront of scientific and engineering research, the United States may need to develop new models for long-range thinking on science and technology issues.

This Academy study is developing recommendations to sustain a long-term, nonpartisan, national focus on science and technology policy issues of vital importance to the country; and to create a national working group on long-term science and technology policy.

A new Academy report, Restoring the Foundation: The Vital Role of Research in Preserving the American Dream, offers recommendations to all sectors—including federal and

state governments, philanthropic and nongovernmental organizations, public and private research universities, and business and industry—to:

1. Secure America’s leadership in science and engineer-ing research—especially basic research—by providing sustainable federal investments;

2. Ensure that the American people receive maximum benefits from federal investments in research; and

3. Regain America’s standing as an innovation leader by establishing a more robust national government-university-industry research partnership.

The Academy is working with other stakeholders in the U.S. research enterprise to explore ways to achieve these goals and thereby maintain America’s leadership in sci-ence, engineering, and technology for decades to come.

S Public Trust in VaccinesVaccines represent a significant scientific triumph and remain a powerful tool for preventive childhood health. As the communal health benefits of vaccination rely upon high rates of immunization coverage, lapses in coverage caused by lack of acceptance can have severe consequences for society. The erosion of public trust in vaccines reduces the effectiveness of vaccination programs and presents potentially severe public health consequences for communities worldwide.

S The Alternative Energy FutureThe Alternative Energy Future project examines the social and regulatory barriers to the adoption of new energy technologies and how these barriers might be overcome. Changing the existing energy infrastructure to address economic and environmental challenges will also require addressing these societal considerations, which to date have not been adequately considered by policy-makers. The project report Beyond Technology: Strengthening Energy Policy through Social Science (2011) presents an agenda for future social and behavioral research on energy and technology adoption at the individual and community levels. Beyond Technology also recommends strategies for enhancing collaboration between social scientists and policy-makers, for exam-

ple through the creation of new pilot demonstration projects to test the application of social and behavioral science within existing energy programs.

The Alternative Energy Future project is currently focused on the following two goals:

• Demonstrating the value of social science in accelerat-ing the process of designing and adopting innovations in the physical energy system; and

• Creating a research program aimed at understand-ing how governing institutions and policy design must adapt to the demands of a changing energy infrastructure.

SARISE II–The Role of Academia, Industry, and Government in the 21st Century

In the twenty-first century, how will the impact of technology, market forces, demographics, and–especially–globalization affect our picture of a working, if not ideal, national innovation ecosystem?

— Cherry A. Murray, Dean, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and John A. and Elizabeth S. Armstrong Professor of Engineering and Applied Science, Harvard University

The Academy’s ARISE II project examines the American research enterprise and the factors affecting the nation’s productivity in science and technology. Three criti-cal players contribute to the U.S. research enterprise: government, industry, and academia. Understanding the relationship among these players and aligning their strengths is necessary in order for the United States to maintain its leadership in science, engineering, and medicine.

The project report, ARISE II: Unleashing America’s Research & Innovation Enterprise, offers recommendations for aca-demia, government, and the private sector to help main-tain America’s leadership in science, technology, and medicine. ARISE II highlights the need for greater synergy among government, university, and industry research and suggests steps to encourage transdisciplinary and trans-sector research collaborations.

SGlobal Security and International Affairs

The Academy’s projects in Global Security and International Affairs are conducted under the direction of the Committee on International Security Studies (CISS). Founded by Harvey

Brooks, CISS has been led by distinguished experts such as Paul Doty, Franklin A. Long, and Carl Kaysen. Previous work includes pathbreaking analyses of the implications of the Strategic Defense Initiative, the militarization of space, the relationship between environmental scar-city and violent conflict, the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, and the challenge of strengthening institutions of international justice.

Today, CISS focuses on emerging challenges to international peace and security, with particular attention to the effects of globalization on social, economic, environmental, and technological transformation.

National and homeland security challenges include scientific intelligence, cybersecurity, power-grid security, and reducing risks from nuclear and biological weapons. Science and technology have large roles to play in addressing all of these.

SThe Global Nuclear Future

Nuclear power offers immense benefits from the perspective of safe, reliable, carbon-free power, benefits that are recognized by many developed and developing nations. But any such expansion presents new challenges from the perspective of proliferation potential that must be understood and mitigated.

—Warren F. Miller, Jr., former Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy, U.S. Department of Energy

Project Directors

STEVEN E. MILLERHarvard University


Senior Advisor

ROBERT ROSNERUniversity of Chicago

The Global Nuclear Future Initiative advances effec-tive policies and procedures that will limit the security, safety, and proliferation risks created by the apparent growing global appetite for nuclear energy. The project has created an interdisciplinary and international net-work of experts that is working together to devise and implement nuclear policy for the twenty-first century.

To help reduce the risks that could result from the global expansion of nuclear energy, the Global Nuclear Future Initiative addresses a number of key policy areas, including the international nonproliferation regime, the entirety of the fuel cycle, the physical protection of nuclear facilities and materials, and the interac-tion of the nuclear industry with the nonproliferation community.

The Academy’s work in global security and international affairs encourages intellectual debate on issues of high relevance and political urgency for American security and global peace.

Since 2008, the Academy has made significant progress in identifying and promoting policy recommendations to minimize the security risks inherent in the global spread of nuclear energy.

• Project work had an impact on the outcome of the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, and it informed discussions with dele-gates to the 2012 NPT Preparatory Committee.

• Academy research on the security standards of current and aspiring nuclear powers and on insider threats directly informed the U.S. delegation to the 2010 and 2012 Nuclear Security Summits.

• Academy recommendations on the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle are reflected in the report of the President’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Ameri-ca’s Energy Future and have been featured in media sources such as Proliferation News, Nuclear Fuel, and Nucleonics Week.

S New Dilemmas in Ethics, Technology, and War Traditional conceptions of just war theory have been challenged by numerous political and technical develop-ments in recent decades. In particular, the improvement in new military capabilities, including the use of drones and precision-guided munitions, have led to both opti-mism about the possibility of reducing collateral damage in war and concerns about whether some states find it too easy to use force today. New targeting policies and rules of engagement have surfaced, in the United States and elsewhere, to ensure that military plans and opera-tions continue to be compliant with the Laws of Armed Conflict. War crimes tribunals have also grown in use, but their record has come frequently under scrutiny as new questions arise on whether these legal tools ulti-mately encourage ruthless leaders to fight to the finish rather than accept resignation and exile.

The Academy project on New Dilemmas in Ethics, Technol-ogy, and War will convene an interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners (political scientists, philoso-phers, ethicists, lawyers, physicians, historians, soldiers, and statesmen) in a series of small workshops to explore the intricate linkage between the advancement of military technology and the moral and ethical consider-ations of the deployment of such capabilities in war and in postwar settings.

The study will produce a multidisciplinary Dædalus issue that will inform the ongoing debate surrounding the acceptable use of modern instruments of war, and will provide a useful teaching tool for both universities and military service academies.

The Academy is collaborating with organizations across the country—colleges and univer-sities, learned societies, libraries, state councils, museums, and government—to develop

policy recommendations and resources that strengthen American education from kindergarten through graduate school. Current projects examine critical issues such as the financial education of American citizens and the importance of supporting public colleges and universities. The Academy’s ongoing initiative for the humanities includes the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences and the Humanities Indicators data project. All of this work reaffirms the Academy’s underlying commitment to education as a prerequisite for a well-functioning democracy.

Commission on the Humanities and Social SciencesHighlights of the Commission’s outreach include:

• Over 100,000 copies of The Heart of the Matter have been distributed online and in print to individuals and at large-scale humanities events across the country. The companion film has been viewed over 33,000 times online.

• Colleges and universities have used The Heart of the Matter to bolster their own humanities endeavors. Sev-eral national organizations have launched their own, complementary liberal arts initiatives.

• The Heart of the Matter report has been used to inform the governing boards at academic associations, includ-ing the National Humanities Alliance, Federation of State Humanities Councils, Phi Beta Kappa, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

• The report has been the focus of a series of public events in targeted congressional districts around the country.

• With cooperation from state humanities councils and learned societies, Commission members have partici-pated in ongoing outreach activities on campuses and libraries, radio and television programs, and in print and online news sources nationwide.

In 2010, a bipartisan group of Congressional leaders called upon the Academy to organize an examination of the importance of the humanities and social sciences to American democracy and competitiveness. They asked the Academy to consider the following question:

What are the top actions that Congress, state governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors, and others should take now to maintain national excel-lence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education, and to achieve long-term national goals for our intellectual and economic well-being; for a stronger, more vibrant civil society; and for the success of cultural diplo-macy in the 21st century?

To meet this challenge, in 2011 the Academy established the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences. The Commission brings together leaders from the sciences, business, public affairs, social sciences, human-ities, and the arts to advance a new conversation about the importance of these disciplines to the nation’s intel-lectual and economic strength, its public institutions, and its civil society. The Commission’s report, The Heart of the Matter, was released on June 19, 2013.

SThe Lincoln Project: Excellence and Access in Public Higher EducationThe Lincoln Project: Excellence and Access in Public Higher Education is developing new strategies to address the challenges facing America’s public research uni-versities. In a time of fiscal constraint, public higher education has become a ready target for federal and state disinvestment, forcing campuses across the country to make difficult choices about institutional spending and resource allocation. Simultaneous cuts in appropria-tions and tuition freezes on many campuses are already having an adverse effect on college affordability and innovation in research. The Lincoln Project is addressing these challenges by considering the implications of state disinvestment in public higher education; assessing the role of the federal government in funding our great public research universities; engaging state and federal policy-makers, university and business leaders, philan-thropists, and the broader public in discussions about

the critical role that these institutions play in our nation; and developing recommendations that will ensure public universities continue to serve the nation as engines of economic development and opportunity for Americans from all backgrounds. The data research group, housed at the D-Lab at the University of California, Berkeley, has begun construction of a national database of higher education data that will inform project reports and publications. Ultimately, the findings will encourage the devel opment of new federal, corporate, and phil-anthropic sources of support to sustain public research universities in every state.

The project is named after President Abraham Lincoln to commemorate his role in signing the Morrill Act of 1862, which laid the groundwork for the nation’s public university system.

American Institutions and the Public Good

Projects in this program area are designed to advance the state of scholarship about our democ-racy and to develop innovative solutions to critical social problems. Current activities focus

on the role of American institutions in fostering good citizenship and a civil society; other recent projects studied challenges to business in the twenty-first century, the problem of mass incarcera-tion in the United States, and the question of judicial independence, among other topics.

Stewarding AmericaThe Stewarding America project is examining civic insti-tutions that are critical for modeling good citizenship: the government, the courts, the media, the military, corporations, unions, the nonprofit sector, and the education system. The project is evaluating the role civic institutions play in the American democratic system—assessing their strengths and weaknesses as stewards and how they interact to preserve civil society.

In collaboration with the Leonore Annenberg Institute for Civics at the University of Pennsylvania, the National Constitution Center, and twenty-five other national organizations that make up the Civics Renewal Network, the Academy’s Stewarding America project hosted a symposium on September 17, 2014 (Constitution Day), at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. The symposium examined current stresses on the American constitu-tional system and the role of national institutions in forging a way forward.

The program offers scholars a year for research and writing free from teaching and administrative duties, a collaborative environment, and the opportunity to interact with Fellows of the Academy, senior scholars, and publishing experts. The Visiting Scholars use their fellowship year to transform a dissertation into a book, prepare journal articles, or begin a second project.

The Hellman Fellowship in Science and Technology PolicyComplementing the Visiting Scholars Program, the Hellman Fellowship is open to early-career professionals with degrees in science and engineering. This fellowship program provides training and work experience for indi-viduals interested in transitioning to a career in science policy. While in residence, Hellman Fellows work with

senior scientists and policy experts on critical national and international policy issues related to science, engineering, and technology. Hellman Fellows also work on one or more Academy projects in the area of science, technology, and global security.
