Alaska Abandons Bid for Tech Future with ASTF Demise

Friday, May 16, 2003

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

As many stories in this issue of the Digest point out, academic institutions serve a critical role in performing R&D for the nation’s innovation pipeline. While most of the attention of national policymakers is directed toward the size of federal and industrial investments in R&D, the burden of financing the infrastructure to support much of that research activity falls on states and institutions of higher education.
