The Coalition for National Security Research, of which AAU is a member, sent their key recommendations for the next four years to the Biden-Harris transition team. The coalition highlighted five priority recommendations for the incoming administration, including increased investment in: Defense science and technology; Defense fundamental research; transformational fundamental research programs; and the national security scientific workforce. The group also recommended the administration reaffirm National Security Decision Directive 189, which would establish “a national policy for controlling the flow of science, technology, and engineering information produced in federally funded research at colleges, universities, and laboratories.”
