Furthering America's Research Enterprise
- Share to:
The federal government has long supported scientific research for the benefit of society, far beyond the initial purposes of national defense. These investments have yielded manifest benefits that today include com- puters, the Internet, wireless communication, the laser, the global posi- tioning system, and modern medicine, among many others—advances that have enabled the United States to achieve unprecedented prosperity, security, and quality of life. Now, however, the United States faces increased global competition for new technologies and other innovations. In this context, Congress wants to further the benefits of science for the U.S. economy and the advancement of other national goals—in particular, keeping the nation in the forefront of the global competition for new technologies and other innovations. But it must do so in the face of growing economic exigencies.
