And that requires maintaining federal funding for science and engineering R&D as a top budget priority. Expanding the innovation capacity of the U.S. is the only way to address an increasingly difficult struggle to maintain our U.S. standard of living, national security and global economic competitiveness. Through sustained federal, state and private funding, we must also invest more in research programs and science & engineering infrastructure. The U.S. must significantly improve the capabilities of our science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce. A National Science Foundation (NSF) study found that 73% of the scientific papers cited in commercial patents were funded by taxpayers through the federal government, especially through university research operations. 1 For More Information: STEM in Your State The Science-Engineering-Technology Working Group (SETWG) has sponsored the annual STEM on the Hill Congressional Visits Day Program since See Science & Engineering Indicators 2018, published by the National Science Board, provides a broad base of quantitative information on the U.S. and global science and engineering enterprise.

2 ASTRA s 2018 STEM Innovation Vital Signs Series (TM) Alaska s Innovation X-RAY: Measuring Alaska s Top 20 Industries by Location Quotient (LQ) Location quotient (LQ) is a valuable way of quantifying how concentrated a particular industry, cluster, occupation, or demographic group is in a region as compared to the nation. It can reveal what makes a particular region unique in comparison to the national average, which is defined as 1.0 In more exact terms, location quotient is a ratio that compares a region to a larger reference region according to some characteristic or asset. Industry LQ is a way of quantifying how concentrated an industry is in a region compared to a larger geographic area, such as the state or nation. The basic uses of industry LQs (and, by extension, for clusters and occupations as well) include these: To determine which industries make the regional economy unique. To identify the export orientation of an industry and identify the most export-oriented industries in the region. To identify emerging export industries beginning to bring money into the region. To identify endangered export industries that could erode the region s economic base.

5 Focus on SBIR / STTR A Remarkable Return on Taxpayers Investment How the SBIR / STTR Program Keeps America Secure and Growing SBIR / STTR Funds High-Tech Small Business Innovations that Private Funding Doesn t Overview by the Small Business Technology Council The Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) form the backbone of high-tech small business funding. America s high-tech small businesses depend on SBIR/STTR to fund the next generation of high-tech innovations because, for the vast majority of small businesses, private funding simply isn t available. On the surface, it appears that private venture capital (VC) seed stage funding is keeping pace with SBIR/STTR funding, with SBIR/ STTR awarding a total of $10.8 billion vs. VC Seed Stage deals totaling $9.5 billion over Remarkable ROI for SBIR Shown in U.S. Air Force Multi-year Study Well over half of the Air Force Phase II contracts 58 percent resulted in sales of new products and services based on the innovations developed with these contracts. Companies reported the following direct commercialization-related outcomes from their Phase II contracts: But the truth is that VC funding is heavily concentrated by sector and state, with 56% of all VC funding going to companies in California and Massachusetts. Those companies outside that narrow geographical sector cross section end up competing for a relatively small slice of the VC Seed Stage Funding pie. For example, if you exclude all deals in Massachusetts and California AND all Software, Internet, or Telecommunications deals, the remainder adds up to only 10% of VC Seed Stage funding, equal in total on average to about 180 deals and $175 million a year. While SBIR /STTR also skews in favor of states like California and Massachusetts, the divide is much less severe. States that receive literally no VC funding, like Wyoming and South Dakota, at least receive some SBIR/STTR awards. And SBIR / STTR also funds technology in sectors that VC has no interest in, such as agriculture and biotech. Recent data has also shown that mergers and acquisitions by large businesses in North America are also slowing down, reducing from a peak of around 14,000 in 2015 to approximately 10,500 in This reduction in mergers and acquisitions comes in spite of strong economic numbers nationwide over the past 2 years. The research team used IMPLAN economic-impact assessment software to estimate the total economic impacts related to both the $4 billion in Air Force SBIR/STTR Phase II contracts and subsequent $14.7 billion in sales of new technologies. Results included: The study was commissioned by the Air Force SBIR/STTR Program. It is the first-ever comprehensive study of the economic impacts of an entire federal SBIR/STTR program. The study was conducted by TechLink, a federally funded technology transfer center at Montana State University-Bozeman, in collaboration with the Business Research Division (BRD) of the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder.

6 Focus on EPSCoR / IDeA A Federal-State Partnership to Build Research Capacity Across the Nation EPSCoR / IDeA Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) & The Institutional Development Award Program (IDeA) A Necessary and Sound Investment in our Nation s Future The National Science Foundation created the Established (formerly Experimental) Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) in 1979 because Congress was troubled by the uneven distribution of federal research and development grants. After World War II, federally funded academic research grew dramatically, but national science policy, at the time, tended to funnel resources to a small number of states with centers of excellence. This status quo ignored the dramatic growth in regional educational and research institutions. In every state, talented American youth aspired to careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, but the nation was not profiting fully from the wealth of ingenuity and skill embedded across the country. EPSCoR provided a solution. EPSCoR is now a federal-wide initiative, spanning five agencies. The largest of these initiatives is known as the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program and was established at the National Institutes of Health in Through, participating states and territories are building a high-quality, university-based research infrastructure, which serves as a backbone to their scientific and technological enterprises as well as a strong and stable economic base. Today, the programs are accelerating science and technology for U.S. global competitiveness, prosperity and security. Building Research Excellence By increasing the quality of research within the jurisdictions, the federal-state partnership: facilitates U.S. world leadership in science and technology by strengthening the nation s research capability; encourages all parts of the country to participate in and benefit from a strong scientific and technological enterprise; builds local, state, and national support for stronger science and technology research and education; expands economic opportunity and creates jobs through improved education and technology transfer; and prepares a diverse and highly competent scientific and technical workforce. Stimulating Competitiveness Awards to jurisdictions represent the highest-quality research. At the core of each of the programs is a mutually beneficial federal-state partnership. Each awarded project undergoes a multi-staged and rigorous peer review. At the state level, EPSCoR/ IDeA projects are aligned with and responsive to state and institutional needs and priorities. At the federal level, participating agencies externally review projects for merit to ensure they meet national standards of quality, innovation and transformative impact. In so doing, EPSCoR/ IDeA programs enable researchers and institutions to compete more effectively for mainstream research funds. The EPSCoR program has contributed meaningfully to jurisdictions increased competitiveness for NSF funds. - Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) Science and Technology Institute.
