Best Answer

Other than writing the letter to Roosevelt at the request of Leo Szilard (who held the Nuclear Chain Reaction patent already), which got Roosevelt to begin a study committee with a budget of $6000, Einstein did not participate. Eventually the committee recommended starting a full development program, which became the Manhattan Project.
