Task Force Releases

We work to support basic research in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. #FundBasicResearch

With the @POTUS budget out, now it's Congress' turn to show its commitment to science and innovation funding. We look forward to working with Congress to invest in our future. #fundscience #fundinnovation

“Innovation investment is the key to our future. While we remain concerned about the significant reductions to innovation spending for FY24, we are encouraged to see President Biden’s budget propose increases in several of these same accounts." #fundscience #fundinnovation

The @POTUS budget is a step forward. But, "Congress set ambitious funding targets for these science agencies in 2022 authorizing legislation. The President’s Budget Request still falls short of these goals." #fundscience #fundinnovation

THE TRENDS

Federal research is falling as a share of the US economy.

As Americans become more reliant on knowledge-based industries for their health, safety, employment and living standards, we are under investing in new knowledge. It’s time to reverse this innovation deficit.

#FundBasicResearch

Basic research in science, technology, engineering, and math serves as the intellectual infrastructure for America’s innovation economy.
