DARPA's mission to create and prevent strategic surprise requires agile, rapid innovation so that technologies may be brought to bear quickly to serve the warfighter. An increasing amount of fundamental science in applications-driven R&D, as defined in the Pasteur quadrant (Stokes 1997, Pasteur's Quadrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation, Brookings Institution Press). Academy of Management Learning & Education, 11(2), 247-262. The decreasing value of our research to management education. Pasteur's quadrant: Basic science and technological innovation. Innovation, Technology Transfer. Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP), 6(31), pp. Defense Sciences Office (DSO) programs bridge the gap from fundamental science to applications by identifying and pursuing some of the most promising ideas within the science and engineering research communities and transforming these He knows Pasteur's quadrant, because he's lived it. In Pasteur's Quadrant, Donald Stokes outlines the historically different relationships between science and technology. National Science and Technology Council's Subcommittee on Nanoscale Science, Engineering and Technology (NSTC/ NSET). Basic science and technological innovation. Unless on subscribes to some species of idealism or essentialism, strictly speaking the term basic or fundamental research has no meaning outside its use as a statistical household word: in other words it is historically and socially contingent . He is Senior Advisor for Nanotechnology to the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the founding chair of the U.S. Her work generally revolves around the intersection of commercial science, with its secrecy and licenses, and “open science” following the usual academia playbook. This journal are later associated with a patent by their authors, and nearly everything in the journal plausibly discusses something that could be patented; research in this intersection of basic and applied technology is what Stokes famously called “Pasteur's Quadrant.
