Capitalizing on Investments in Science and Technology


The Goals report, like other recent reports, refers to the process by which the results of research may be transformed into new ideas, processes, and techniques that benefit the nation. This complex process, which includes technology transfer, innovation, commercialization, application, and other components, is described in the present report as “capitalizing on investments in science and technology.” COSEPUP’s goals are to call attention to a process of significant complexity and great importance to the nation, to demonstrate the importance of a supportive capitalizing environment, and to suggest ways in which capitalizing might be strengthened. The members of COSEPUP concluded that in recent years the United States generally has been effective in capitalizing on research, whether it is performed in this country or abroad. At the same time, COSEPUP feels that the U.S. research, entrepreneurial, and policy establishments need to understand the capitalization process better if the nation is to maintain and extend this effectiveness in the future.
