About RCSA
For more than 100 years, Research Corporation for Science Advancement has pioneered trends in science and education, funded scientific research, and helped scientists solve some of the great questions in the history of science.
Today, Research Corporation is wholly a philanthropy. Over the years, the Foundation has supported the work of over 18,000 scientists: 42 have received Nobel Prizes, and countless others have made discoveries and contributed to the body of science.
RCSA regularly brings together early career scientists with internationally recognized researchers, educators, and science administrators. Our aim is to build communities of interest to advance the scientific enterprise. RCSA-sponsored conferences promote creative thinking and collaboration on problems of national and global importance.
