From the President

dvancing knowledge and learning in service to the nation has been the mission A of the Academy since its founding in 1780. Through the study of social and scientific problems and opportunities, the Academy provides critical thinking on the most pressing challenges facing the country and the world. As you will see in the pages that follow, the Academy is exploring issues from the future of postsecondary education, to the governance of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty regime, to the need to support research that will drive the next generation of scientific and technological advances and affect our quality of life and our understanding of the world around us. These studies draw on the intellectual resources of hundreds of our members and involve many collaborating organizations—both national and international. Our work engages members and other experts from diverse professions and disciplines and brings them together to address critical issues facing our global society. We are grateful to the many members who support the Academy’s projects, publications, and programs. This support gives the Academy the independence to pursue important issues that advance the common good. As always, I welcome your questions about the Academy and suggestions for its future. Global Security and International Affairs

he Academy’s projects in Global Security and International Affairs are conducted in collabora- Ttion with the Committee on International Security Studies (CISS). Founded by Harvey Brooks, CISS has been led by distinguished experts such as Paul Doty, Franklin A. Long, and Carl Kaysen. Previous work includes pathbreaking analyses of the implications of the Strategic Defense Ini- tiative, the militarization of space, the relationship between environmental scarcity and violent conflict, the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, and the challenge of strengthening institutions of international justice. Current work focuses on emerging challenges to international peace and security, with particular attention to military technological advancements, relations among great powers, nuclear weap- PROJECTS, PUBLICATIONS & MEETINGS PROJECTS, PUBLICATIONS ons, and the threats arising from fragile and failing states.

Drawing on the expertise of leading scientists, policy-makers, social scientists, humanists, and technical experts from both academia and industry, the studies explore how science and technology are changing, how to help the public understand those changes, and how society can better adapt to those changes. Areas of interest include the nation’s productivity in science and technology; the social and regulatory factors that influence the adoption of new technologies; and public understanding of, and trust in, science and medicine.

he Academy is collaborating with organizations across the country—colleges and universi- Tties, learned societies, libraries, state councils, museums, and government—to develop policy recommendations and resources that strengthen American education from kindergarten through graduate school. Current projects examine the future of postsecondary education and the importance of supporting public universities. The Academy’s ongoing initiative for the humanities includes the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Humanities Indicators data project, and a new Commission on Language Learning. All of this work reaffirms the Academy’s underlying commitment to education as a prerequisite for a well-functioning democracy. PROJECTS, PUBLICATIONS & MEETINGS PROJECTS, PUBLICATIONS

he Exploratory Fund supports Fellows who want to work together to look over the horizon Tfor issues and opportunities not well understood, to think of problems in a fresh way, and to search for connections between research and policy that advance the common good. By encour- aging smaller scale initiatives in a variety of venues, the Academy assists Fellows in pursuing the subjects that concern them most. The Fund provides up to $30,000 for a limited number of projects each year. Funds can be used in any way that furthers the proposed work, including covering costs associated with the organiza- tion of meetings, symposia, and conferences that can be held at the Academy’s headquarters in Cambridge, at the home institutions of interested Fellows, or at other locations relevant to discussion topics. Recipients also receive the organizational and logistical support of the Academy staff. & MEETINGS PROJECTS, PUBLICATIONS Current Exploratory Initiatives include:

•• A discussion of the future of jazz in American life, •• A conference of judges, lawyers, and legal scholars addressing both the failing economics of jazz—from concerned about the state of legal services for the struggling recording industry to the decline in the poor. Conference participants will examine performance venues—as well as new opportunities for obstacles to access in both the civil and the criminal educational institutions and other organizations to justice systems, evaluate the most recent research, and broaden access to jazz education for young people. discuss possible solutions.
