White House Releases FY20 R&D Priorities with Emphasis on Global Leadership
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) recently released the administration’s federal research and development (R&D) priorities for the next year. The memo is intended to serve as a guidance document for federal science agencies as they start to craft their FY 2021 budget requests. The memo is co-signed by both Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier, Director of OSTP, and Russell Vought, Acting Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
This year’s memo outlines five overarching “R&D Budgetary Priorities”.
“Success will depend upon ensuring that research is conducted with integrity and respect, which are foundational not only to the research process, but to the trust placed in the research enterprise by American taxpayers and reflective of America’s values,” the memo states.
