The convergence study (Usama & Chang, 2026) was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), grant RS-2026-25473622 (MSIT).

Summary

The 2026 convergence study by Usama and Chang was paid for by the Korean government's science ministry through a specific NRF grant, which means the work has official institutional backing and a traceable funding trail. This grounds the research in a public accountability chain and tells the system that the source is a government-supported publication rather than an independent or commercial one.
