ASTRA has created 51 state-specific R&D Sheets and K-12 STEM Ed Report cards to help illustrate the importance of scientific research to state and local economies, job growth, innovation, our standard of living, and national security.

One highlight of this work is a feature which ranks states according to a variety of indices provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce, including its Technology Administration and the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the American Electronics Association, the Progressive Policy Institute, and several other organizations which track specific trends in this area.

Please feel free to share these State R&D sheets and STEM Ed Reports with your elected representatives as well.
