A nonpartisan coalition of non-profit, academic, foundation & corporate leaders working to strengthen American science & technology.

NIH funding cuts halted 383 clinical trials this year, disrupting research across cancer, heart disease, and brain disorders. The U.S. needs a predictable R&D strategy and a strong research workforce to protect innovation and patient outcomes. @apnews 🔗 apnews.com/article/nih-fu…


A bipartisan report to Congress highlights how the US can face competition with China head-on by modernizing economic infrastructure, investing in emerging technologies, & strengthening partnerships across the Indo-Pacific. ⬇️Read more from @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/national-secur…


China’s rise in AI, manufacturing, and biotech shows what sustained investment in R&D can achieve. Investing in U.S. science and technology supercharges our economy and workforce, uplifts our communities, and secures our future. Read more in @theAtlantic: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

“The dulling of America’s scientific edge” isn’t inevitable – but it is a warning. As U.S. researchers look abroad, our leadership is at risk. We need renewed federal investment in S&T to empower the people who drive American discovery. From @postopinions🔗washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…


Between 2020 and 2024, China’s research output grew 95%, while U.S. output increased by just 9.5%, per the @QuincyInst. America’s edge depends on renewed investment in science, innovation, and global collaboration. Read more 🔗 quincyinst.org/research/china…


"X-59 is a symbol of American ingenuity. The American spirit knows no bounds ... This work sustains America's place as the leader in aviation and has the potential to change the way the public flies." – Sean Duffy, acting @NASA administrator.


China’s automation boom shows what happens when a nation bets big on science and tech. As America faces unprecedented global competition, we must unlock the full potential of our S&T enterprise to secure our leadership. Read more from @Telegraph: telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…


"As funding dries up and the pipeline of new talent thins, researchers worry America could give up its long-held edge in science and technology to other countries." More on the consequences of losing PhD's that go on to innovate, cure diseases, and win Nobel Prizes @axios👇


The government shutdown is stalling science by halting grants and delaying research, putting America’s S&T workforce at risk. Every week without funding sets back U.S. leadership in the global innovation race. Read more on the impacts of funding cuts: sciencetechaction.org/wp-content/upl…

Researchers and Colleges Face Federal Shutdown Impacts Two weeks into the government shutdown with no resolution in sight, higher ed associations & researchers say the inability of scientists to contact federal agencies or get new grants is causing harm. bit.ly/4hb3wnw
