On August 4, 2025, the Department of Defense (DoD) published the <a href="https://basicresearch.defense.gov/Portals/61/Documents/Research%20Security/Fundamental%20Research%20Guidance.pdf" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(70,120,134)">Fundamental Research Guidance</a>. Such document provides
updated guidance on DoD policies regarding fundamental research, which is
defined as basic and applied research in science and engineering that is openly
published and shared within the scientific community, as per National Security
Decision Directive – 189 (NSDD-189). The document also emphasizes that
fundamental research should remain unrestricted to maximize technological
innovation and collaboration.</span></p>
