The members of PCAST reviewed the many ways in which far-sighted investments in research and development activities during the past half-century have enriched Americans’ health, security, environment, and general quality of life. We discussed the challenges to sustain these R&D investments—both in the short term and over the long haul—so that the scientific wellspring will continue to generate prosperity well into the next century. We also emphasized that the promise of technology’s contributions must be met by developing a skilled and flexible workforce and in fostering opportunities for education and lifelong learning for all Americans. This short report examines several areas in which science and technology have blossomed from wise and bal- anced investments in research and development over the past several decades.
