R&D policy in the United States and the background of science diplomacy. Historical insights
Abstract The increasing involvement of the U.S. government in financing and promoting public research and development (R&D) policies emerged in the 1940s, a period characterized by the expansion of the federal government and the mobilization of resources driven by World War II. During this time, the Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), led by Vannevar Bush, was established. The experiences of the war fostered collaboration among policymakers, scientists, engineers, military personnel, and industrialists, a trend that continued into the post-war era. As tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union escalated, there was a broad consensus on the necessity of a robust R&D system supported by strong public funding. The Cold War was not merely a political, strategic, economic, and ideological struggle; its global dynamics also sparked a competition for scientific supremacy. In the U.S., the concept of “Big Science” gained traction, characterized by the combination of “big money, big equipment, and big teams” in strategically important sectors. Research on atomic energy held a prominent position and was the first to establish specific agencies for its oversight and organization, such as the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), reflecting its priority for national security. Subsequently, other federal agencies were created to address the evolving needs and interests of the country, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).At the same time, R&D Policy underwent a process of internationalization, aimed at fostering collaborative dynamics in an increasingly globalized world and gain foreign allies in the bipolar confrontation. American science diplomacy was shaped in response to the rise of international agencies that highlighted the growing role and influence of science and technology in global affairs. The Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC), which later became the OECD, served as a channel for transferring American paradigms and methods in research and development (R&D) to Western countries, emphasizing the link between economic growth, research, and scientific-technical training. These principles also influenced the cooperation policies initiated in the 1960s, which sought to promote the development of the Third World and guide it toward modernization. Another key focus of this emerging scientific diplomacy was the establishment of human capital training programs, whose recipients would act as mediators of the American model within their home societies.
