In that job, she oversaw the administration’s efforts on ethical artificial intelligence, research integrity, and greater transparency in science. Her work includeddirecting all U.S. research agencies to make federally funded papers free on publication, as well as the underlying data.
Nelson took a 2-year leave of absence from IAS, where she had just been named chair of its school of social sciences, to join the Biden administration. She had previously led the Social Science Research Council, an independent, nonprofit funding agency, after serving on the faculties of Yale and Columbia universities. Nelson told Axios she is stepping down on 10 February.
