EMERGING TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT AN AGING POPULATION STRATEGY FOR AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING A Report by the SUBCOMMITTEE ON ADVANCED MANUFACTURING COMMITTEE ON TECHNOLOGY of the NATIONAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL October 2018 STRATEGY FOR AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING About the National Science and Technology Council The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) is the principal means by which the Executive Branch coordinates science and technology policy across the diverse entities that make up the Federal research and development enterprise. A primary objective of the NSTC is to ensure science and technology policy decisions and programs are consistent with the President's stated goals. The NSTC prepares research and development strategies that are coordinated across Federal agencies aimed at accomplishing multiple national goals. The work of the NSTC is organized under committees that oversee subcommittees and working groups focused on different aspects of science and technology. More information is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/nstc. About the Office of Science and Technology Policy The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) was established by the National Science and Technology Policy, Organization, and Priorities Act of 1976 to provide the President and others within the Executive Office of the President with advice on the scientific, engineering, and technological aspects of the economy, national security, homeland security, health, foreign relations, the environment, and the technological recovery and use of resources, among other topics. OSTP leads interagency science and technology policy coordination efforts, assists the Office of Management and Budget with an annual review and analysis of Federal research and development in budgets, and serves as a source of scientific and technological analysis and judgment for the President with respect to major policies, plans, and programs of the Federal Government. More information is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp. About the Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing Under Section 102 of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 (42 U.S.C. 6622), as amended, the NSTC Committee on Technology is responsible for planning and coordinating Federal programs and activities in advanced manufacturing research and development, and developing and updating a quadrennial national strategic plan for advanced manufacturing. The Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing (SAM) addresses these responsibilities, and is the primary forum for information- sharing, coordination, and consensus-building among participating agencies regarding Federal policy, programs, and budget guidance for advanced manufacturing. About this Document This 2018 strategic plan for advanced manufacturing, developed by the SAM following extensive public outreach, is based on a vision for American leadership in advanced manufacturing across industrial sectors. This vision will be achieved by developing and transitioning new manufacturing technologies to market; educating, training, and connecting the manufacturing workforce; and expanding the capabilities of the domestic manufacturing supply chain. Strategic objectives are identified for each goal, along with technical and program priorities with specific actions and outcomes to be accomplished over the next four years.
