"The purpose of this report is to present and consider information related to whether the United States is losing its edge in science and technology (S & T). Claims have been made about insufficient expenditures on research and development (R & D) (particularly on basic research), problems with U.S. education in science and engineering (S & E), a shortage of S & E workers in the United States, increasing reliance on foreigners in the workforce, and decreasing attractiveness of S & E careers to U.S. citizens. A loss of leadership in S & T could diminish U.S. economic growth, standard of living, and national security. Our assessment of the measures we have examined indicates that the U.S.S & T enterprise is performing well. We find that the United States leads the world in S & T and has kept pace or grown faster than the rest of the world in many measures of S & T. Although developing nations such as China, India, and South Korea showed rapid growth in S & T, these nations still account for a small share of world innovation and scientific output. Furthermore, we find that the consequences of the globalization of S & T and the rise of S & T capability in other nations are more likely to be economically beneficial to the United States than harmful. We also find that the United States has continued to invest in its S & T infrastructure and that the S & E workforce has managed to keep up with the demand for highly skilled S & E workers through immigration. However, there are potential weaknesses in the persistent underperformance of older K-12 students in math and science, in the limited attractiveness of S & E careers to U.S. students, and in the heavy focus of federal research funding on the life sciences, and we do not yet fully understand the consequences of an increasing reliance on foreign-born workers in S & E."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Is the United States in danger of losing its competitive edge in science and technology (S & T)? This concern has been raised repeatedly since the end of the Cold War, most recently in a wave of reports in the mid-2000s suggesting that globalization and the growing strength of other nations in S & T, coupled with inadequate U.S. investments in research and education, threaten the United States' position of leadership in S & T. Galama and Hosek examine these claims and contrast them with relevant data, including trends in research and development investment; information on the size, composition, and pay of the U.S. science and engineering workforce; and domestic and international education statistics. They find that the United States continues to lead the world in science and technology and has kept pace or grown faster than other nations on several measurements of S & T performance; that it generally benefits from the influx of foreign S & T students and workers; and that the United States will continue to benefit from the development of new technologies by other nations as long as it maintains the capability to acquire and implement such technologies. However, U.S. leadership in science and technology must not be taken for granted, and Galama and Hosek conclude with recommendations to strengthen the U.S.S & T enterprise, including measures to facilitate the immigration of highly skilled labor and improve the U.S. education system."@en . . . . . . . . . .
