More than fty years of experience shows that a strongfederal
commitment to scientic research is key to buildinga better America.
Discovery and innovation are provenfuels for economic growth and
job creation. And they are
vital elements for achieving energy security and
sustainingAmericas global leadership in science. We must begin
toreduce the decit and begin to live within our means. Butwe must
be smart about how we go about it. Federalsupport for science will
spur economic growth and helprestore a rm scal foundation for our
nation.
A National Science Foundation (NSF) study found that 73%of the
science papers cited in industry patents were fundedby taxpayers
through the federal government, especiallyuniversity research
operations.1
New Jersey received $1.495 billion in federal prime awardR&D
contracts in FY 2010, with approximately 2,070
