The Pioneer Fund: Funding Scientific Racism (1937-present)
Summary
The Pioneer Fund, founded in 1937 by Wickliffe Draper and presided over by Harry Laughlin (director ERO/Cold Spring Harbor), is the principal foundation that financed research on intelligence and race in the United States. It funded Jensen ($1.1M), Rushton, Lynn, and the sources of The Bell Curve (13 researchers, $4M+). The connection through Frederick Osborn (director Pioneer Fund 1937-1958, president AES, co-founder Population Council) links it to the Rockefeller system. No direct link to Epstein (ZERO mention in DOJ corpus). A third-degree link via Watson and Murray.
