Science and economics are merging to drive innovation. To sustain scientific advancement and economic growth, physical sciences need better funding and talent, and federal support must adapt to interdisciplinary research.

Area of Science:

  • Science and economics
  • Innovation and economic growth
  • Physical sciences, life sciences, mathematics, and engineering

Background:

  • The integration of science with the economy is accelerating innovation.
  • A 'cascade paradigm' of innovation is crucial for economic growth, even with economic slowdowns.
  • Science faces critical challenges to sustain its role in innovation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key challenges facing science in its alliance with the economy.
  • To propose solutions for sustaining scientific advancement and its economic impact.
  • To advocate for changes in federal research funding and organizational structures.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the current state of science funding and talent in physical sciences versus life sciences.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of the impact of interdisciplinary research on scientific advancement.
  • Review of federal science support structures in relation to modern research needs.

    • Main Results:

    • Physical sciences (including mathematics and engineering) lack the strong advocacy model seen in life sciences for securing federal funding.
    • There is a concerning decline in the number of physical scientists and engineers, threatening future scientific progress.
    • Federal science support structures remain largely unchanged since the Cold War, despite the increasing interdisciplinary nature of modern science.

    Conclusions:

    • Physical sciences require a robust advocacy model to secure adequate federal research funding.
    • Reversing the decline in physical scientists and engineers is essential for maintaining scientific momentum.
    • Federal science support needs modernization to foster interdisciplinary cooperation across sectors and agencies.
