Strategic Transformation of Basic Scientific Research Development in U.S.Universities and Its Value Analysis:From Bush's Report to Chip and Science Act
The landmark 1945"Science:The Endless Frontier"report initiated the"golden age"of basic scientific research in U.S.universities and solidified the United States'strategic stature as a sci-entific leader post-World War Ⅱ.Over the decades,however,the landscape of global power has shifted towards international multipolarity,resulting in a decline in the competitiveness of U.S.basic scientific research.This decline is further compounded by shifts in scientific paradigms and the emergence of neo-statism in research,which has fostered the propagation of the"China Threat Theory."In an effort to counter these challenges and revitalize American scientific leadership,President Biden signed the"Chip and Science Act."This new legislation aims to catalyze a strategic transformation in the basic scientific research framework of U.S.universities by implementing four core tasks:(1)restructuring the Na-tional Science Foundation to foster governance innovations within university research;(2)reforming the systems of talent cultivation to advance an inclusive and high-quality development of STEM educa-tion;(3)establishing multidimensional collaborative research platforms to accelerate pioneering innova-tions in critical technologies;and(4)fortifying national research security measures to mitigate competi-tive pressures from foreign academic institutions.This strategic overhaul in U.S.basic scientific re-search underscores diverse value orientations,blending paradigmatic innovations to bolster multidimen-sional coordination and efficiency,navigating the tensions between neo-statism and international collab-oration,and enhancing the role of inclusivity to energize the synergistic potential of the"knowledge tri-angle"in fostering a holistic educational ecosystem.
