Progress in science depends on new techniques, new discoveries, and new ideas, probably in that order. Traditional research models are not designed for the mid-scale investments needed to accelerate the pace of science and innovation The development of new techniques, tools, and datasets sometimes requires mid-scale investment: focused support of tens of millions of dollars that falls between grants to individual principal investigators (PIs) and “big science,” like the Large Hadron Collider or James Webb Space Telescope. These investments have the potential to move an entire field forward, solve a range of important scientific and societal challenges, and reduce the time and cost associated with an end-to-end inno
