Wednesday, April 23, 2008

With the goal of helping frame innovation policy for the next Administration, the Brookings Institution and the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) released two reports today calling on the federal government to respond to America’s slipping leadership in commercial innovation.

Florida Leverages Advantages in Biotech to Prepare for Space Shuttle’s Demise

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

The end of the space shuttle program in 2010 has many state and local governments uncertain about the future of the aerospace industry. A recent NASA report estimated that as many as 10,000 contractor jobs could be lost at spaceflight centers across the country by the time the program ceases operation. Florida's John F. Kennedy Space Center would be the hardest hit, with as many as 80 percent of its current workforce lost in the next 2-3 years.

Michigan Commits $1 Billion to Life Sciences R&D & Biotechnology Commercialization

Friday, August 20, 1999

With a $50 million appropriation in FY 2000, the State of Michigan has made the first installment toward spending $1 billion over the next 20 years for life sciences research, development, and commercialization. The funding is derived from Michigan's tobacco settlement. Other public and private sources are expected to match much of the state's investment over the two decades.

Monday, April 3, 2006

The advances being made in nanotechnology-based research are likely to impact most industry sectors eventually as more commercial applications are identified.

Pew finds partisanship growing in American support for science

Wednesday, February 11, 2026

In the 30 years SSTI has been in existence and the 85 years of concerted federal focus on scientific discover and innovation, the priority of public-private R&D investment has been overwhelmingly nonpartisan. A recent report from the Pew Research Center confirms the cold-war, global competitiveness arguments for U.S science and technology still hold sway across political parties, but fissures in who should pay and who should work on science and tech efforts are beginning to grow.

Wednesday, February 11, 2026

According to a newly released analysis of university campuses, the disconnection and under-utilization problem extends deeper into regions than many may realize.
