Research Corporation

The Research Corporation for Science Advancement ( RCSA ) is an institution in the United States of America, the progress in the sciences devoted to. Since 1912, they funded research projects in the field of physics.

The Research Corporation was founded by Frederick Gardner Cottrell, an American chemist and inventor. The initial foundation stock he paid from the revenues of the patent he invented the electrostatic precipitator. She was the second foundation in the United States ( according to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching) and the first to exclusively to the promotion of science devoted himself.

Especially during the 1920's and 30 years, many scientists their patents to the Research Corporation to ensure that all the profits would benefit from scientific progress. The Research Corporation was a relevant model in intellectual property issues in science.
