Media Briefing to Highlight New Report on Health
of U.S. R&D
S&E Indicators 2002 shows surge in U.S. industry/high
tech R&D
Members of the National Science Board (NSB) will discuss
highlights of Science and Engineering Indicators
2002, the NSB's biennial report to the President,
at a press briefing at 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 30, at
the National Press Club's Holeman Lounge.
The briefing and discussion will focus on: the impact
of science and technology on the economy; the growth
of industry research and development (R&D) activity
over the last decade; and continued under-investment
by the federal government in areas of research and
education critical for U.S. global competitiveness.
This year's highlights will include for the first time
a list of the top 20 states in R&D, noting which
states have gained ground and which have lost ground
since the last Indicators report in 2000.
Science and Engineering Indicators reviews,
every two years, the state of science and engineering
research and education in the U.S., and is the most
comprehensive source of information on R&D for
universities, industry and the federal government.
