The NSF established an Office of Scientific Computing in 1984 and, with strong congressional support, it quickly announced a national competition that would fund a set of supercomputer centers like the one described in the Black Proposal.

The Black Proposal was approved in 1985 and marked the foundation of NCSA, with $ 42, 751, 000 in funding from 1 January 1985 through 31 December 1989.

The Black Proposal described the limitations on any scientific research that required computer capabilities, and it described a future world of productive scientific collaboration, centered around universal computer access, where technical limitations on scientific research would not exist.

Modern readers of the Black Proposal may gain insight into a world that no longer exists.

The implementation of the Black Proposal had a primary role in shaping the computer technology of today, and its impact on research ( both scientific and otherwise ) has been profound.
