The Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has compiled a list of articles from leaders in the profession on the importance of federal investment in basic research in the technology sector. https://www.acm.org/media-center/2025/december/cacm-federal-funding

Turing Laureates & Tech Leaders Warn That Federal Funding Cuts Imperil US Innovation

In response to extensive funding cuts to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and other government agencies, editors of Communications of the ACM (CACM) have compiled Federal Funding of Academic Research, a special section of related articles. Contributing authors to the section include recipients of the ACM A.M Turing Award—the “Nobel Prize in Computing.” Each author draws from their own experiences to explain how federal support laid the foundation for critical breakthroughs and outline why the reductions are so detrimental to America’s future. The collection communicates with clarity how public research funding over decades, transformative innovation, and economic growth are all inextricably linked.
