dbo:abstract
  • Die Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) ist eine Einrichtung in Tucson, Vereinigte Staaten, die sich dem Fortschritt in den Wissenschaften widmet. Seit 1912 finanziert sie Forschungsvorhaben im Bereich der Physik. Die Organisation mit Sitz in Tucson wurde von Frederick Gardner Cottrell, einem amerikanischen Chemiker und Erfinder, gegründet. Den anfänglichen bezahlte er aus den Patenteinnahmen des von ihm erfundenen Elektrofilters. Sie war die zweite Stiftung in den Vereinigten Staaten (nach der Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching) und die erste, die sich ausschließlich der Förderung der Wissenschaften verschrieb. Besonders während der 1920er und 1930er Jahre übertrugen viele Wissenschaftler ihre Patente an die Research Corporation um sicherzustellen, dass alle Profite dem wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt zugutekämen. Die Research Corporation war ein maßgebliches Vorbild in Fragen des geistigen Eigentums in der Wissenschaft. (de)
  • Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) is an organization in the United States devoted to the advancement of science, funding research projects in the physical sciences. Since 1912, Research Corporation for Science Advancement has identified trends in science and education, financing thousands of scientific research projects that have changed our world. The Research Corporation was founded in 1912 by Frederick Gardner Cottrell, scientist, inventor, environmentalist and philanthropist, with initial funding derived from the profits from his patents on the electrostatic precipitator. Research Corporation was the second foundation established in the United States (Andrew Carnegie established the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 1906) and America's first foundation devoted solely to the advancement of science. For over 100 years, RCSA has catalyzed transformative research by funding top early-career teacher-scholars at America's colleges and universities. RCSA seeks to identify and support ideas that could revolutionize and advance entire fields of study. At the same time, RCSA works to improve U.S. science education by advocating that faculty members enhance their teaching and contribution to society by remaining active in research and by involving undergraduates in their work. For many years the foundation has maintained that involving undergraduates in research develops critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, and intellectual independence, and promotes an innovation-oriented culture. RCSA supports direct grants to academic scientists; conferences that leverage important scientific work that is already under way; advocacy with an emphasis on the research of early-career faculty; promulgating innovative ideas for scientific transformation; the integration of research and science teaching; interdisciplinary research; and building academic cultures that look toward tomorrow's scientific needs. During the 1920s and 1930s, many scientists took out patents of their developments and assigned them to the Research Corporation in order to guarantee that any profits made from their work would be used for further scientific research (one notable example is Ernest O. Lawrence, who assigned his cyclotron patent to the company). The Research Corporation played a major role in the minds of many scientists of the period in formulating ideal policies about the role of intellectual property in science. It was one of the first foundations in the United States. In 1987, their invention-handing facilities became Research Corporation Technologies, a wholly independent company which handles technology transfer. It was also a major supporter of the research that led to the presentation of Interlingua in 1951. (en)
