American technological leadership is in jeopardy partly because the federal government’s contribution to basic research has been steadily declining, and the US workforce is falling behind in STEM-related skills. If the US wants to return to being the uncontested leader in science and engineering, it will have to sow seeds for innovation by raising its level of investment.An R&D Investment Plan to Enhance US Competitiveness
