WASHINGTON, DC– Today, Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Michael Kratsios published a new report to President Trump that charts a bold course to revitalize American research and development (R&D). The report, entitledScience: A New Golden Age, marks the first comprehensive rethinking of the U.S. science and technology enterprise in over 80 years since Vannevar Bush’sScience: The Endless Frontier.

“American scientific progress was the beating heart of the 20th century. After World War II, we adapted to a new world by reinventing our scientific institutions, and we must do so again today. This report lays a policy foundation that frees American scientists to do their most groundbreaking work, revives the national pursuit of ambitious scientific missions, and positions the United States to lead the AI-driven scientific revolution that will define the next century,”said Director Kratsios.

As an annex to the report, Director Kratsios and Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Russ Vought jointly issued theWhite House Fiscal Year 2028 R&D Priorities Memorandum. This annual memo to Federal departments and agencies includes specific directives to implement the recommendations laid out inScience: A New Golden Age.
