Science & Innovation

Challenges to the scientific enterprise, together with sweeping reforms to the government’s role in science, demand a new agenda to enhance science’s productivity and credibility, preserve our research advantages, and keep the enterprise accountable to American citizens. Reforms to advance biotechnology R&D must be paired with biosecurity policies ensuring that oversight is harmonized and responsive to emerging biotechnologies. And international talent competition, new technologies, and the decentralization of the education system force a rethinking of how and what students learn and the future of the American workforce.
