Extraordinary Opportunities…on the Brink of Discovery.
But what is needed to make that happen?
The XO Files are case studies of basic scientific research opportunities with extraordinary intellectual and social potential, selected by a distinguished editorial board. Visionary long term philanthropic support could unlock that potential and ensure continued U.S. leadership on the frontier of basic science.
Why are the XO Files urgently needed?
- Because of the sheer novelty of the potential breakthroughs
- Because of constrained federal research budgets to explore fundamental science
- Because the proposed research falls between agency mandates
