摘要

The report focuses on programs that, in the authors judgement, have the greatestpossibility to build on the nation's strength in research and innovation, and at the same time contribute to U.S. economic performance. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) can play a part in improving the nation's civil technology base by moving again to fulfill its role in dual-use technology. In addition to DARPA, the report also reviews federal laboratories and their capacity to contribute to private sector technology development.
