	Office of Scientific Research and Development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD) was an agency of the United States federal government created to coordinate scientific research for military purposes during World War II.
		It superseded the work of the National Defense Research Committee (NDRC), was given almost unlimited access to funding and resources, and was run by Vannevar Bush, who reported only to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
		The research documented the men's ability to maintain physical output and the psychological effects such as introversion, lethargy, irritability and severe depression.

	National Defense Research Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Defense Research Committee (NDRC) was an organization created "to coordinate, supervise, and conduct scientific research on the problems underlying the development, production, and use of mechanisms and devices of warfare" in the United States from June 27, 1940 until June 28, 1941.
		It was superseded by the Office of Scientific Research and Development in 1941, and reduced to merely an advisory organization until it was eventually dissolved in 1947.
		The NDRC of the OSRD membership consisted of Conant (Chairman), Tolman (Vice-Chairman), Adams, Compton, and Jewett, along with the Commission of Patents (Coe until September 1945, and then Casper W. Ooms), and the representatives of the Army and Navy (which changed periodically).

	History of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research
		The materials research issue was very complex, stemming from the new and severe environments of high-temperature, radiation, shock, and space conditions faced by aerial weapons.
		Research in chemistry focused on high-performance materials for seals and sealants, electrochemistry for fuel cells and batteries, the chemistry of glass fiber optics, and the use of organo-metallic compounds for semiconductors and catalysts.
		The numbers of scientific directorates were reduced from six to five in 1992, and then from five to four in 1994, in order to foster more synergy between the different research areas.

	Impacts of the Early Cold War on the Formulation of U.S. Science Policy
		There will again be need for such a civilian scientific research agency, to supplement the work of the military and other established organizations through exploitation of research areas not suitable for them and to provide uninhibited working conditions for a limited number of leading scientific minds on radical and unorthodox ideas.
		The Scientific Adviser to the President, with his competence and comprehensive knowledge would be ideally qualified to plan the Scientific Research Agency and to discern opportunities for its initial projects and specific scientists to undertake them.
		At the time of the actual establishment of the Scientific Research Agency decision would be made as to whether the Scientific Adviser would undertake to head its operating organization or whether another man should be called in for this function, leaving the former in his purely advisory capacity.
