Créé en 1964, l’Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (Inserm) est un établissement public à caractère scientifique et technologique, placé sous la double tutelle du Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la recherche et du ministère de la Santé. Ses chercheurs ont pour vocation l’étude de toutes les maladies, des plus fréquentes aux plus rares, à travers leurs travaux de recherches biologiques, médicales et en santé des populations. L’Inserm, chercheur en santé depuis 1964 Avec un budget 2013 de 927 M€, l’Inserm soutient près de 300 laboratoires répartis sur le territoire français. L’ensemble de ses 1200 équipes regroupe près de 15 000 chercheurs, ingénieurs, techniciens, gestionnaires, hospitalo-universitaires, post-doctorants…Il est actuellement dirigé par Yves Levy. L’Inserm est membre de l’Alliance nationale pour les sciences de la vie et de la santé, fondée en avril 2009 avec le CNRS, le CEA, l’Inra, l’Inria, l’IRD, l’Institut Pasteur, la Conférence des Présidents d’Université (CPU) et la Conférence des directeurs généraux de centres hospitaliers régionaux et universitaires. Cette alliance s’inscrit dans la politique de réforme du système de recherche visant à mieux coordonner le rôle des différents acteurs et à renforcer la position de la recherche française dans ce secteur par une programmation concertée. L’Inserm célèbre ses 50 ans en 2014.

The Commission represents and upholds the interests of the EU as a whole, and is independent of national governments. The European Commission prepares legislation for adoption by the Council (representing the member countries) and the Parliament (representing the citizens). It administers the budget and the policy programmes (agriculture, fisheries, research etc.) in cooperation with authorities in the member countries.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…" With an annual budget of more than $8 billion, NSF is the funding source for approximately 20 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America’s colleges and universities. In many fields, such as mathematics, computer science, and the social sciences, NSF is the major source of federal backing. NSF awards about 11,000 new awards per year, with an average duration of three years -- to fund specific research proposals that have been judged the most promising by a rigorous and objective merit-review system. In the past few decades, NSF-funded researchers have won more than 200 Nobel Prizes as well as other honors too numerous to list. NSF funds equipment that is needed by scientists and engineers but is often too expensive for any one group or researcher to afford. Another essential element in NSF's mission is support for science and engineering education, from pre-K through graduate school and beyond. There are many exciting careers at NSF, not only in science, technology, education and mathematics (STEM), but also in business and operations.
