The Gravity Research Foundation, established in 1948 by businessman Roger Babson (founder of Babson College), was an organization designed to find ways to implement gravitational shielding. It closed in the late 1960s, although it has maintained an annual contest rewarding essays by scientific researchers on gravity-related topics. It is also mentioned on stone monuments located at more than a dozen American universities.
