| Annotation: | This report calls on policymakers, business
leaders, and higher education officials to
unite together in making the investments
necessary to enhance U.S. innovation and national
security in the 21st century. Graduate education
prepares the knowledge creators and innovators of
tomorrow with the skills, expertise, and cultural
awareness needed to compete effectively in the
knowledge-based global economy. The work of
graduate students contributes directly to sustained
economic growth, prosperity, and national security.
A key assumption of the report is the need for expanded participation of U.S. citizens, particularly from underrepresented minority groups, in fields that are essential to our nation’s success, emphasizing the need for increased minority participation in STEM careers. |
