CHAMPIONED is supported. Two PRIMARY sources were fetched and verify the core of the promise firsthand. The Heinrich/Rounds joint release documents that Rounds co-founded/co-launched the bipartisan American Science Acceleration Project (ASAP) with Sen. Heinrich, states the "ten times faster by 2030" goal, and carries the "creating a superhighway for science that lets our researchers cure cancer, harness fusion energy and defend our country from both physical and cyber threats in record time" quote verbatim, correctly attributed to Rounds. Rounds's own official ASAP page confirms the "make American science ten times faster by 2030" language and his role as co-sponsor driving the initiative (a formal RFI / five-pillar framework). Co-founding a national initiative and issuing a Request for Information to shape legislation is real leadership (authorship/driving the effort), which meets the CHAMPIONED bar and exceeds a mere vote or endorsement. The aspirational end-state (science literally 10x faster by 2030) is not yet realized and is not verifiable until 2030, so CHAMPIONED (led the promised effort), not FULL (goal achieved), is correct. Nonpartisan basis: this rests on documented official actions — co-founding, the RFI, and the quotes — not on the policy's merits. The one cited secondary source (Ripon Advance, on the Homestake AI Act) could not be fetched (HTTP 403 bot-block); its substance is independently corroborated by reachable search results but was not verified verbatim, so it is excluded from the verified-sources list and confidence is trimmed accordingly.
