Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) is a foundation providing catalytic and opportunistic funding for innovative scientific research and the development of academic scientists.
RCSA was founded in 1912 by Fred Cottrell (left), who was a chemist, engineer and inventor. Modern day scientists supported by RCSA such as Mats Selen (center) have invented a wide array of devices, including tools to teach physics. As Fred Cottrell advised, RCSA focuses its support on early-career faculty such as Puja Goyal (right).
The Cottrell Scholar program develops outstanding teacher-scholars who are recognized by their scientific communities for the quality and innovation of their research and educational programs and their academic leadership skills.
Scialog seeks to accelerate the work of 21st-century transformational science through research, dialog, and community.
