I thought I would talk about the Rockefeller Foundation and it's affiliation with the social sciences and their relationship with sexuality and Kinsey. I found the following website
http://aabss.org/Perspectives1999/f20Jones.html where the information below is from:
The basic story of the Rockefeller Foundation is well-known. As
part of the "Gospel of Wealth" philosophy embraced by many of the great business
tycoons of the late 1800s and early 1900s, people like Mellon, Rockefeller, and
Carnegie created philanthropic organizations to influence positively the
increasingly industrial society they had helped create. Rockefeller's
benefactions were wide-ranging, including projects in the medical and natural
sciences, public health, and the general humanities. A special focus of
Rockefeller's philanthropic interest, however, was the burgeoning of the fields
of social science. J. D. Rockefeller felt that if the new fields of political
science, economics, sociology, and the like were only as well-established as the
natural sciences and could discover the basic laws of society, the further
acquisition of new knowledge that would result could ultimately be used to
improve the conditions of human life around the planet. The problem was that a
chronic lack of funds in these new academic disciplines hampered practical
research efforts and made their increasingly theoretical work more "remote from
pressing current problems" (Rockefeller Foundation, 1933a, p. 38). For this
reason, a major focus of Rockefeller's new Foundation, and especially its allied
philanthropy, the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Fund, was the promotion of
the social sciences. These groups sought to accomplish this goal by using a few
standard techniques.
First and foremost in the early years of the Foundation was the
development of several university centers of social science research in various
parts of the world. The stated goal of this practice was creating "an easy
interchange of faculty and students engaged in the study of common problems,"
and "securing recognition from university administrators that research
facilities and opportunities are essential for the social sciences" Not only
would the non-academic world profit from the practical research thus spawned,
but the indirect values of such a program were seen as nothing less than the
"creation of international understanding and good will"(Rockefeller Foundation,
1933a, p. 39).
Dr. Robert S. Morrison was the head of the Medical Division of the Rockefeller Foundation when the foundation was involved with Kinsey and his "flawed" research. In reading about this foundation they had their hands all across the world. They were especially interested in the social sciences (sexuality) and helped fund Margaret Mead with her research on human sexuality. She was doing research into human sexuality at least 25 plus years before Kinsey. The following site explains what the Rockefeller Foundation spent funding on.

The National Research Council and the Medical Division of the
Rockefeller Foundation provided thousands of dollars towards studies in
sexual physiology and behavior. The Rockefeller Foundation initially
helped to organize and fund the American Social Hygiene Association in
1913 to alter public attitudes regarding prostitution, and to work for
birth control and other social reforms. During the 1920s faulty
research, designed to satisfy a specific agenda, was produced by
Margaret Mead and others “while misleading the West with effusive claims
about the supposedly positive, happy nature of wildly promiscuous
‘primitive’ sexuality.” [xiii]
