Funding Smithsonian Scientific Research
A new National Academies' report examines the extent to which Smithsonian scientists should compete for government funding. In particular, it looks at whether the institution's research is sufficiently unique to justify direct government funding, or whether some of that research money should be made available to outside scientists via a competitive, peer-reviewed grant process.
These series of briefings were for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on October 31, 2002 and can be found online, in its entirety, through the Web site of the National Academies Press.
