Chair Daniel Lipinski
On January 28, Committee Members approved Rep. Daniel Lipinski (D-IL) to be Chair of the Research and Science Education Subcommittee. Along with Chair Lipinski, twelve other Committee Members serve on the Subcommittee. The Subcommittee on Research and Science Education handles issues related to basic research, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, science policy, and the health of the U.S. academic research enterprise. During the 110th Congress, the Subcommittee worked on issues including nanotechnology, K-12 STEM education programs, international science and technology cooperation, and gender equity in science and engineering.
“As a former political science professor, mechanical engineer, and recipient of NSF funding when I was a graduate student, I understand the critical importance of providing support for research,” said Subcommittee Chair Daniel Lipinski. “The future of our country depends on supporting research and STEM education, which will keep our country competitive and provide the high quality jobs of today and tomorrow.”
