US EditionIowa State University president signs statement calling for national investment in R&D
- Last week, the leader of Iowa State University endorsed a statement advocating for increased national funding in research and development to boost the United States' global competitiveness.
- The statement, authored by the Council on Competitiveness, calls on President Trump and Congress to support renewed action amid challenges including declining federal R&D funding and global competition.
- It recommends investing at scale in dual-use technologies such as AI, biotechnology, semiconductors, improving partnerships, and attracting global talent to sustain innovation leadership.
