  • The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research was a department of the British Government responsible for the organisation, development, and encouragement of scientific and industrial research. At the outbreak of the First World War "Britain found ... it was dangerously dependent on enemy industries". At the request of the Board of Trade, the Board of Education prepared a White Paper under the chairmanship of Sir William McCormick. The DSIR was set up to fill the roles that the White Paper specified: "to finance worthy research proposals, to award research fellowships and studentships [in universities], and to encourage the development of research associations in private industry and research facilities in university science departments. [It] rapidly assumed a key role in coordinating government aid to university research. It maintained these roles until 1965. The annual budget during its first year, 1915, was £1,000,000. (en)
  • Le Département de la Recherche scientifique et industrielle (Department of Scientific and Industrial Research ou DSIR) était un département exécutif du gouvernement britannique chargé de l'organisation, du développement et de l'encouragement de la recherche scientifique et industrielle. Au début de la Première Guerre mondiale, a la demande du Board of Trade, le Board of Education a préparé un livre blanc sous la présidence de Sir William McCormick. La DSIR a été créée pour remplir les rôles spécifiés par le Livre blanc : financer des propositions de recherche valables, attribuer des bourses de recherche et des bourses d'études dans les universités, et encourager le développement d'associations de recherche dans l'industrie privée et d'installations de recherche en sciences universitaires. Elle a maintenu ces rôles jusqu'en 1965. Le budget annuel au cours de sa première année, 1915, était de 1 000 000 £. (fr)
