American funds seeded multiple German social-science institutes, but only some survived.

Evidence

(The Institute of Social-Scientific Research (Institut für sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung) in Darmstadt, founded in 1949, was also financed by a grant from HICOG, but it only survived for a few years. The Rockefeller Foundation supported the establishment of a Dortmund Sociological Research Unit (Sozialforschungsstelle Dortmund) at the University of Münster. Political science was encouraged by the Americans even more than sociology.) — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 458
