THE 1990'SGAINING STRENGTH, SPEAKING OUT
The Board offered advice within a context that was increasingly global in scope. Issues such as species loss, global climate change, and the Internet's power to distribute information highlighted the international nature of science. The Board tackled national policy issues, such as research priority-setting, now that decisions were no longer to be made under the exigencies of the Cold War. With a report that made the case for environmental research and education as a national and NSF priority, and in other statements on national policy, the Board began finally to fulfill the vision that Vannevar Bush had originally spelled out in Science-The Endless Frontier.
