In 1950, the National Science Foundation was established to chatmel federal support into basic research. The model for the National Science Foundation grew out of the success of the wartime Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD. Appropriations for the Foundation rose sharply from 225,000 in fiscal year 1951 to 14 million in fiscal year 1955 and to 153 million in fiscal year 1960. In the period 1953-1960, U.S. spending on R D grew from 5.13 billion to 13.55 billion and the federal share of the total climbed from 54 to 65% (Skolnik Reese, 1976).

During the next six months the committee Interviewed 350 people representatives from 73 of the 77 medical schools of the United States, from the armed services, the various medical research institutions, the pharmaceutical industry, and philanthropic foundations. Its report,Science, the Endless Frontier Report to the President on a Program for Postwar Scientific Research by Vannevar Bush, Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, was published by the U.S. Government Printing Office in July, 1945, and was influential in the setting up of the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

More than 100 years ago, W. O. Atwater, the first director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture s (USDA) Office of Experiment Stations, is believed to be the first person to use the scientific process to develop dietary guidance to improve health (Welsh et al., 1993). His food composition tables and dietary standards for the U.S. population were first published in 1894 (Atwater, 1894). He coordinated research on nutrient requirements, food composition, food consumption, and consumer economics that led to a...
