The National Science Board just published its biannual, congressionally mandated report The State of U.S. Science and Engineering 2024. We are discussing the findings and implications during a livestreamed briefing at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. LINK: https://lnkd.in/eq_vx9bW The report shows that shows that although the U.S. performs more research and development than any other country, the nation’s global position is slipping, as countries in East and Southeast Asia, particularly China, increase their activities. https://lnkd.in/eRS492R3 “The Indicators report confirms that our nation’s science and engineering enterprise increasingly hinges on foreign-born STEM talent and is limited by flat federal R&D investment, all at a time when global innovation continues to accelerate,” said Daniel Reed, Chair of the National Science Board. The U.S. no longer predominates across all elements of science, technology, and innovation. Instead, the nation is distinguished by the strength of its universities as destinations for international students and its highly cited and collaborative research. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted mathematics scores for American elementary and secondary students, especially those who were already scoring in the 10th percentile and those identifying as American Indian or Alaska Native. Improving the STEM education trajectories for over 54 million primary and secondary school students is essential to sustainably addressing our STEM talent crisis in the long-term. The report also shows we still have a way to go to fully incorporate the “Missing Millions,” or people from historically underrepresented backgrounds, into the STEM higher ed and workforce populations. “It is time to act, with vision and commitment, by expanding our domestic STEM worker pool, investing in critical science and technology areas, and building the necessary research and development infrastructure to ensure our continued national security and economic independence. The job is not done, and we neglect it at our peril,” Reed said.

关于我们
The National Science Board (NSB) recommends and encourages the pursuit of national policies for the promotion of research and education in science and engineering. The NSB has two important roles. First, it establishes the policies of National Science Foundation (NSF) within the framework of applicable national policies set forth by the President and the Congress. In this capacity, the Board identifies issues that are critical to NSF's future, approves NSF's strategic budget directions and the annual budget submission to the Office of Management and Budget, and approves new major programs and awards. The second role of the Board is to serve as an independent body of advisors to both the President and the Congress on policy matters related to science and engineering and education in science and engineering. In addition to major reports, the NSB also publishes occasional policy papers or statements on issues of importance to U.S. science and engineering. The NSB is made up of 25 Members appointed by the President. The NSF Director is an ex officio Member. Members serve six-year terms. With the exception of the NSF Director, one-third of the Board is appointed every two years. NSB Members are drawn from industry and universities, and represent a variety of science and engineering disciplines and geographic areas. The NSB is apolitical. The NSF Act of 1950, as amended, states that nominees to the "Board (1) shall be eminent in the fields of the basic, medical, or social sciences, engineering, agriculture, education, research management or public affairs; (2) shall be selected solely on the basis of established records of distinguished service; and (3) shall be so selected as to provide representation of the views of scientific and engineering leaders in all areas of the Nation." The NSB elects its own Chairman and Vice Chairman. The Chairman, in turn, is authorized to make appointments to the NSB staff. The NSB Office is headed by the Board Executive Officer.

“Today, more than at any time since World War II, the United States is being challenged scientifically on the global stage.” In a Science editorial, former @usairforce Secretary @UTEP President @NSF Board member @HeatherAnWilson warns of the risks of ceding leadership in science and technology and lays out a path forward: monitoring global innovation to avoid tech surprises, legislation to educate and train a US workforce that can thrive in fast-paced fields across the sciences, and a national science strategy to inspire the next generation. https://lnkd.in/ePWPYZqW

“What got America to this point will not get the country to where it needs to go. A new vision is required to respond to an evolving global science and technology ecosystem.”?So say NSB Chair and IBM Sr VP Darío Gil, AAAS CEO Sudip Parikh, and NAS President Marcia McNutt, in a recent Science editorial. https://lnkd.in/gjMH_R9Q
