The Recovery Act provided more than $18 billion for scientific research through the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Federal investments in university research programs have led to countless medical breakthroughs, and keep us on the forefront of new technologies. Participants will discuss how research at their institutions, supported by the Recovery Act, is not only creating jobs now, but is planting seeds for entire new industries in the future. The Vice President will also be joined by Dr. John Holdren, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
