The chip in your phone started in a taxpayer-funded university lab.
David Patterson — Turing Award winner and former CRA Board Chair — helped invent it.
Now he’s warning Congress: don’t cut the research that powers American innovation.

Turning back the clock on science investments more than 20 years.... sigh. The last time we were considering funding levels like this for NSF, I was a staffer on the House Science committee writing up the NSF Authorization bill. That was 1999.
The Trump Administration’s FY26 budget proposes devastating NSF cuts, including a 65% cut to CISE and key programs like CAREER and GRFP. U.S. research and innovation are at risk.

A move that saves nearly no money and will cost the sciences quite a bit….
CRA opposes the disestablishment of key NSF advisory committees, including CISE AC and ACCI. These groups offer vital expert input that helps align computing research with national priorities.
