"This publication represents the culmination of the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative (NAKFI), a program of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Medicine supported by a 15-year, $40 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation to advance the future of science through interdisciplinary research.

Seed grants awarded to conference participants enabled further pursuit of bold, new research and ideas generated at the conference"--Publisher's description |
