Federal research funding is contracting just as society’s scientific needs are accelerating, creating gaps that new public, private, and philanthropic investment models are attempting to fill. This session explores the strengths and limitations of these models, what's at risk in the shifting funding landscape, and new ideas to bolster research and its impact. The Panel features:

Cristin Dorgelo, Former Official at the Office of Management and Budget and Office of Science and Technology Policy
Justin Milner, Executive Vice President of Evidence and Evaluation, Arnold Ventures
Dan Powers, Executive Director, CO-LABS
Jesus Salazar, Co-Founder and CEO of Pico AI, and Chairman, Prosono
