America's Best Ally:
Science & Technology.
In order to fuel a true American restoration, we must wholeheartedly embrace science and technology research, development and education. How? With a significant funding commitment, cabinet-level leadership and greater federal coordination, the U.S. S&T infrastructure will tackle the greatest challenges of our time: from food, water and energy security to lessening the threat of future pandemics to curbing climate disruption.
Endorse the Action Plan





Our nation’s future is in question. Science and technology must guide the way forward.




We Must Act Now
These three actions will move us toward a new era of innovation, prosperity and safety:
- Investment
- Leadership
- Coordination
At least double federal expenditure for R&D and STEM education relative to GDP over the next five years.
Endow the OSTP Director, now a cabinet-level position, with the resources and budgetary authority needed to address society’s most pressing issues.
Reinvent and reinvigorate cross-agency collaboration across the 20+ federal departments and agencies conducting R&D to harness the full power of our public science and technology enterprise.




WE MUST ALL STAND UNITED BEHIND SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.
Academia, industry and the S&T community have endorsed our Action Plan. But Washington needs to hear from every corner of the U.S. that the existential challenges we face today can only be overcome by prioritizing science and technology at the federal level.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ACTION COMMITTEE
We're a group of 22 non-profit, academic, foundation, and corporate leaders working to dramatically strengthen U.S. science and technology.

China is a Determined and Formidable Competitor with the U.S. in Science & Technology
The U.S. is engaged in a fierce competition with China for world leadership in science, technology and innovation, which China may win unless Congress doubles funding for R&D and STEM education relative to GDP over the next five years. The impact to America would be devastating: fewer jobs, a weaker economy, more intrusive and unethical uses of technology and greater threats to national security.
