Andrew Carnegie established this unique organization dedicated to scientific discovery "in the broadest and most liberal manner." The philosophy was and is to devote the institution's resources to "exceptional" individuals so that they can explore the most intriguing scientific questions in an atmosphere of complete freedom. Carnegie and his trustees realized that flexibility and freedom were essential to the institution's success and that tradition is the foundation of the institution today as it supports research in the Earth, space, and life sciences. Our former name, the Carnegie Institution of Washington, has led to confusion because four of our departments are outside Washington and because the name did not distinguish us from other non-profits created by our donor. As a result, we adopted a new look and name in 2007—the Carnegie Institution for Science. Our new name closely associates the words "Carnegie" and "science" and thereby reveals our core identity.
