America enters a new era of privately funded science
Original: America’s new era of private science
America is entering a new era in which private funders and companies, rather than the federal government, increasingly drive scientific research. Commentators are debating what this shift means for the direction of research, access to knowledge, and the country's long-standing public investment in science, with concerns about priorities being set by wealthy donors and corporations rather than national need.
Why now: Growing private-sector funding of research is prompting debate about the future of American science amid strained public investment.
