A brief summary of the findings of a Task Force on CMB research will be presented. The task force was organized by NSF, NASA and DoE and presented a final report to the agencies in 2005/2006. The principal findings and recommendations of the Task Force will be discussed. The principal recommendations of the Task Force include:
1) A well coordinated and joint agency program of ground based, balloon borne measurements leading to a new space mission designed to measure the polarization patterns of the CMB to a level limited by the astrophysical foreground.
a) A significant component of such a program is the measurement of the polarization of the foregrounds which interfere with the cosmological measurements.
b) A strong modelling program to include the foregrounds, gravitational lensing leading to E to B mode mixing and estimation of systematic errors to optimize the design of a space mission.
c) A coordinated polarization sensitive receiver development program including detector arrays, optical coupling and read-out multiplexing techniques.
2) A strong continuing ground based program to measure small scale temperature anisotropy and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect.
