Federal research funding

For more than seven decades, Princeton and other leading research universities have played an integral role in building and strengthening America’s research system into the envy of the world — a collaborative effort that advances human health, strengthens national security and gives America a crucial edge in global competitiveness.

The key to that system is a partnership between the federal government and research universities that has led to an unprecedented pace of invention, innovation and discovery.
That partnership is now under threat from changes in government funding.
