Science and Technology Strategic Planning: Creating Economic Opportunity

摘要

In FY 1996, the Economic Development Administration (EDA), solicited a proposalto (1) identify best practices in science and technology strategic planning; (2) determine how states were addressing the needs of distressed areas in their strategic planning initiatives; and (3) recommend ways in which states and the federal government could leverage science and technology investments to benefit distressed areas. Between September 1996 and September 1997, the State Science and Technology Institute (SSTI) conducted the study. This report presents the project's findings.
