U.S. Innovation

Take a look at US Innovation, an initiative of the Alliance for Science & Technology Research in America (ASTRA). The website contains resources on the key elements of innovation in the U.S., indicators for tracking innovation, various articles on innovation in science and technology, as well as podcast discussions about the connections between education and innovation. In addition, ASTRA recently released a 14-point action agenda for the future of U.S. innovation, called “Riding the Rising Tide: A 21st Century Strategy for U.S. Competitiveness and Prosperity” (for the PDF, click here). The report is essentially a call for the Presidential campaigns to take the issue of American competitiveness more seriously. To read ASTRA’s latest brief, click here.
